Comments (0) Best Queer Dance Party - 2011
Woahmone
The bears have Chelsea and the professionals have Hell's Kitchen, but where do the relatively hairless and broke gays go to play in Manhattan? Inhabiting the banquette-lined basement of Von, Woahmone might just be the party. Nath Ann Carrera and Savannah Knoop co-DJ this monthly, mixed-queer, mixed-genre soirée, while Nica Ross projects spacey visuals culled from found videos of homemade porn. The music is era-spanning, ranging from the Appalachian bluesman Hasil Adkins to occult British prog rock band Black Widow. Said Carrera, "It's as though Doris Wishman's granddaughter became a Wiccan and started a bath house." First Tuesday of the month, Von, 3 Bleecker Street, 212-473-3039, vonbar.com (10012)
