QueenOfNewYork.com: a personal guide to New York's gay nightlife

Thank you for stopping by Queenofnewyork.com !

I'm a French guy and I've been living in New York for the past few years. Moving to this city has been a blessing, and life in New York is an amazing experience. I created this site to share all the cool places I like to go to, my favorite bars and restaurants, and review all the parties and clubs that I got the chance to experience.

I try to document my various outings and catch on camera some glimpses of the New York city nightlife. I love to dance and I live for house music, so I never get tired of going out and trying different types of parties and events. I have edited a few video clips of the parties I have been to and you can watch them in the video section.

I also keep a calendar of the upcoming parties that I think are worth checking out, in case you are in town.

I hope you'll have fun browsing this site and that it will communicate to you my passion for this great city of New York. Feel free to drop me a comment if you want to get in touch.
