Made-to-Order Gourmet Picnic Baskets from Davio’s Manhattan

by Ryan Shea

While the concept of a romantic picnic is the park is enticing, most New Yorkers lack the time and resources to create a gourmet meal “to-go” on their own. Lexington Ave. hot spot Davio’s Manhattan is providing the perfect solution: made-to-order picnic baskets designed to delight the senses of your special someone.

Top 6 RuPaul’s Drag Race Queens Who Just Missed the Top Three

by Ryan Shea

RuPaul’s Drag Race had its penultimate episode the other night, that left three very viable candidates in Bob The Drag Queen, Naomi Smalls, and Kim Chi to compete for the crown and become America’s Next Drag Superstar.  This is one of the best seasons the show has ever had, easily, as it has showcased a ton of strong contenders who could’ve easily been in one of their positions (Thorgy Thor, Acid Betty, not Derrick Berry).  Whereas this show has gotten it right for a good portion with its top 3, there have been times where the 4th, 5th or even lower should’ve been in the top three for a myriad of reasons.  Not to be confused with the underrated article that I did a while ago, this top 10 list examines the ones that came so damn close to being in the final 3, but something happened along the way or in the end that caused them to fall flat.  So who do we think deserved to be standing on that stage in the end, with a crown, smile or both on their face?  Let’s examine.

by Ryan Shea

The 2016 Tony Awards nominations are in, and boy is it going to be a big night for Hamilton!  With 16 nominations total, they have broken the record for most nominations in one year.  Being this year’s “The Book of Mormon”, they are the odds on favorite to win a ton of awards, however there is a bunch of great contenders that are going to give them a run for their money.

A Unique Take on Breakfast at The Kitano Midtown

by Ryan Shea

Who doesn’t love brunch?  It is freaking delicious!  The problem with breakfast in New York City sometimes is that it tends to be the same type of dishes (Bacon, Egg & Cheese, French Toast, Eggs Benedict, etc) that tend to be repeated to the point where originality is out the door and you are having the same thing over and over again.  If you are looking for a great twist to your everyday breakfast, look no further than The Kitano Hotel’s wonderful spread, located right inside their fabulous Murray Hill location.

What Stars Shined the Most at the 2016 Met Gala?

by Ryan Shea

If there was a Super Bowl for fashion, it isn’t the Oscars, Grammys or even the CMA’s (lol), it is the annual Met Gala, which took place last night at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.  This is where the biggest stars in the world bring out their style guns for everyone to see, gag, admire, and every other adjective of jealousy to which they are dressed to the nines in.  Everyone from Beyonce to Taylor Swift and so many more showed up in the best of the best, but question is… who do we think were the belles of the ball?

RuPaul’s Drag Race Recap- And Then There Were Three…

by Ryan Shea

Filling in for David this week as he is sickening! No he’s just not feeling well boo boos. My turn to throw the shade mwhahaha! Last week, we finally saw some basic impersonator go home who should’ve left after he walked into the werk room the first episode. Nevertheless, he and his receding hairline are gone, and now we are down to an amazing top 4. Each have possessed some seriously strong skill sets throughout the season, and this might possibly be their strongest and most likable top 4 ever.

by Ryan Shea

This week is going to be big for people who like their drank and partaytay!  Why so?  Well, Cinco De Mayo is this coming Thursday for one, but it is also Tequila Week (get those hangover remedies people!).  So many places to celebrate the holiday and this week, so why not choose a place that has a ton of great food, drink and activities prepared to celebrate, all under one roof? One place that we highly recommend is Beer & Buns, located right outside Grand Central on East 39th between Park and Lexington.

Travel Idea! Stay at The Omni Providence in Rhode Island

by Ryan Shea

As someone who has primarily lived in New York his entire life, the only other place that I can call home to a certain degree is Providence, Rhode Island, where I attended college for five years.  Providence has the convenience of being wedged between New York City and Boston and even though is a smaller city than both, it makes up for it with its charm, beauty and endless amounts of fun things to do.  If you are planning on heading to Providence in the upcoming weeks or months, or even want to stop by and experience all it has to offer, one place that I highly recommend checking into is The Omni Providence, located right in the heart of the city on W. Exchange Place. [Read more…] about Travel Idea! Stay at The Omni Providence in Rhode Island

There Needs to be Mutual Respect Between Older & Younger Gay Men

by Ryan Shea

As someone who has been part of the bear and gay community as a whole for twelve years now, I have seen a bevy of trends come and go in our culture, yet there is a constant that remains throughout it and that is an incredible lack of respect from younger and older gay men to each other that needs to stop immediately. Seeing as we can be a culture that hardly comes together as a community with how vicious we can be, it can be something as simple as this that can break these walls downs and we can unite better as a culture.

Pulling Out: Rocco Steele’s Big 2nd Act

by Ryan Shea

Almost two years ago, I was perusing the Twitter world when someone retweeted a picture from another handle that showcased a stunning man in all of his glory. That man was named Rocco Steele, and at that point he was a newcomer in the industry that possessed a ton of charisma, looks, appeal and so much more that was very much needed at that point. Nearly two years later he has taken all of those characteristics and used them to the best of his advantage, dominating the industry like no one has seen in years, and now is ready for the next phase in his career to begin.
