ALEGRIA XTREME 9
New York's homegrown Circuit party
also happens to be the place to be
after Black Party to keep the dark times
rolling. Harking back to a time when
New York stayed open 24 hours a day,
Alegria throws down with hot studs of
all inclinations, world-famous DJs and
a great excuse to stay awake for even
more licentious debauchery.
Ric Sena and crew have managed the
near-impossible with Alegria, turning a
monthly party into a worldwide Circuit
happening. They're certainly the only
crew that could possibly follow an act
like Black Party, so expect loads of
horny men, raw shows, and a crowd
diverse enough to please every kink
and desire.
This year, Alegria makes a return to
one of New York's most revered
spaces: Crobar. With its outrageous
lights, ceiling height, stage depth, and
sound system, this promises to be the
most-anticipated Alegria ever. So party
Sunday evening into Monday morning.
And afternoon.

G Lounge strikes an almost unheard of balance in New York gay life.
Opened in 1997, it has staying power and a familiar neighborhood vibe, but
somehow manages to remain exquisitely trendy in the process. Gay bars
come and go, but G has always been there for a quick after-work cocktail or
a more involved evening with the Chelsea hard body elite. There's room for
everyone around their famous circular bar, and even the cool kids are relaxed
and friendly in this oft-imitated staple of NYC cocktailing. Info: glounge.com

way to Florida for this explosion of music and global DJ culture.
