FEATURED EVENTS
Brooklyn Pride
Tired of seeing the same old faces at every gay club in the city? Looking for a lover who hasn't screwed most of your friends? Then don't sleep on Brooklyn Pride, the one event hot enough to wake up queer sleeping beauties and provide the masses with fresh options. The sightseeing begins at 9:30 a.m. with a 5K run. Afterward, head over to Prospect Park, throw down a blanket, and take in the Multicultural Festival, which includes a street fair complete with the usual goodies: food, shopping, and onstage performances (see dyke diva Lori Michaels). read more
Beatles Brunch
Always wanted to see the Beatles perform? Get over it, and move on to the next best thing at the weekly Beatles Brunch. Tribute band Strawberry Fields, featuring former members of the Broadway musical Beatlemania, recreate the Beatles concert experience from the early mop-top "I Want to Hold Your Hand" days to the psychedelic rock and brightly colored uniforms of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. read more
