Pride weekend in New York City is typically chock-full of things to do — but this year is busier than ever.
The 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising and World Pride coming to the city have brought the revelers out in full force, and the list of activities is seemingly endless. To decide where to go and what to check out, WWD has put together a list of the best events, exhibitions, bars, restaurants and monuments to visit before the weekend’s up.
For nonstop fun, there’s Pieces: a bar specializing in drag performance at the highest level — celebrities know this and frequent the old haunt with regularity. Many “RuPaul’s Drag Race” alumni can be seen on stage here, and Jennifer Lawrence and Adele were spotted there in March having a night. This month, Pieces’ weekly drag bonanza Frisky Fridays hosted by Ruby Roo offers special shows for Pride starting at 11:30 p.m.
