Freedom Fridays at Rise

Trans

LGBT Network Queens LGBT Center

LITE is a weekly gathering for trans folks 18+ on Long Island—a space designed for community, support, and genuine connection. Show up, be yourself, and spend an evening with people who get it.

Community Focused

Hive Mind Books & Coffee Shop

Aquarius Moon Tarot is leading an all-levels workshop designed to deepen your connection to your intuition through tarot. Whether you're picking up a deck for the first time or you've been reading for years, this is a chance to explore what the cards can teach you about trusting yourself.

Leather

HUSH

Commando is HUSH's weekly Wednesday party with a clear dress code: come in your gear and let it do the talking. The room leans into leather, harness, and fetish culture, with a crowd that takes the theme seriously and makes it easy to feel at home. Expect a lively dance floor and a relaxed, unpretentious night in Hell's Kitchen.

bingo

Boxers NYC

Wednesday nights belong to Kamila Kockman's bingo — the Fire Island superstar keeps the energy high, the prizes flowing, and the crowd coming back. Grab the 2-for-1 happy hour until 9pm, then settle in for a night of drag bingo that doesn't feel like work. Get lucky, win the jackpot, and see why this midweek reset is a community favorite at Boxers NYC.

Trans

Brooklyn Community Pride Center

A weekly peer-led support space for trans and gender non-conforming adults (18+) to connect, share experiences, and support one another in a confidential, affirming environment. Whether you're navigating transition, community, relationships, or just need to be around people who get it, this judgment-free group meets every Wednesday evening, facilitated by Brooklyn Community Pride Center staff. Some sessions may be held via Zoom with registration required — contact tgnc@lgbtbrooklyn.org for details or alternate ways to join.

Video Bar

Albatross Bar

Wednesdays at Albatross Bar are the easiest kind of fun: stop by, pick any music video you want, and watch the room sing along. It's a relaxed weeknight tradition with the crowd to match, and the nights for Bear Nights and Lesbian Nights make Wednesdays a great reason to show up whatever your crowd.
