queenofnewyork.com > A personal guide to New York's gay nightlife

Thank you for checking out my website Queenofnewyork.com.

Originally from France, I am New Yorker by adoption and have enjoyed living in this fascinating city since 2004. Shortly after moving from Paris, I started doing this website as a way to share with my friends some insights about my life in New York. This project was also my sandbox, allowing me try and learn a few things about web development. Eventually, some users actually found my content interesting and the traffic started to grow. I'm still doing this mostly for fun, as a hobby, and as an outlet for the various sentiments that New York inspires in me.

I'm passionate about dance music, and - as a gay man - I've been especially interested in its longstanding connection with gay culture. New York is where it all started, as the city was both the epicenter of the sexual liberation and the birthplace of disco. The legacy of those movements has profoundly shaped my views of the world, and I couldn't be happier about having the opportunity to live in the very city that has defined the culture that I most identify to.

Queenofnewyork is my modest contribution to the night clubbing culture. I publish this website mostly for fun, to share my thoughts and insights on navigating New York's gay club scene 30 years after Stonewall, and to document the various happenings that I have the occasion to attend across this city.

Let me also credit my long time friend Eddie Ruiz, a native New Yorker with a longtime involvement in the New York's nightlife, for providing me with many of the pictures that are published on his website. He's been a great supporter of this website, and helped me in many ways to keep it going and letting the word out about it.
