Bbl Thursdays

Gogo Dancers

Metropolitan

Wednesday nights at Metropolitan belong to Cakes — a weekly dance floor takeover hosted by Mini Horrorwitz and Devo Monique, with DJs Horrorchata and Hannah Lou spinning all night. The main event is the Best Ass Contest: get on stage, grab a free shot, and shake for a chance at a $25 bar tab. With cheap drinks ($3 PBR tall boys, $7 PBR/shot combos) and no cover, it's the reliably fun midweek reset that keeps the crowd coming back.

Late Night

C'Mon Everybody

Talk It Up is a drag tribute to Sammy Rae & the Friends at C'Mon Everybody in Brooklyn, a 21+ night where a lineup of drag performers takes the stage. Expect Liam Borghini, Mizzaddy, Cheetah Quila, Maljo Blu, Baby Blue, Mx. Media (PHL), gogo kitten and Dalbitchy. Tickets are $13.39 and the show runs late, so grab a seat in the booths and settle in.

Coffee Shop

Hive Mind Books & Coffee Shop

Thursday mornings at Hive Mind belong to queer and trans writers who want to show up and actually get work done—surrounded by people who get it. Bring your laptop, your draft, your manuscript, your questions, or just the need for a quiet table and good coffee in a space that's genuinely welcoming. No pressure, no performance, just writers doing the work together.

Community Center

LGBT Network Queens LGBT Center

LI-SAGE's twice-monthly Mingle for older LGBTQ+ folks on the East End, looking for friends, good conversation and a fun afternoon. It's an in-person meetup at the LGBT Network Queens LGBT Center in New York City, 3:00 to 5:00 PM on Thursday, November 5th. Come as you are and make a few new friends.

Trans

Brooklyn Community Pride Center

Body Talk is a spiritual, creative somatic workshop for and by Black queer and trans folk. These sessions ground us in collective healing through poetic approaches to somatic practice—creativity, mindfulness, movement, and more. Free with a sliding scale suggested donation ($10–$15); no one turned away for lack of funds. RSVP required.

board-games

Brooklyn Community Pride Center

A welcoming space for new and seasoned TTRPG players to gather for one-shots — no prep, no ongoing commitment, just a fun evening rolling dice with people who get it. Each month brings different indie and small-press games to the table, so there's always something fresh to try. Come solo or bring friends; the whole point is finding your people and maybe discovering your next favorite game.
