82 Club

Location(s)

From the NYU Gender Studies discussion list (posted by Joe E. Jeffreys):

Discover and relive the history of the 82 Club in the very room it took place.

An East Village night spot, starting the 1950s the 82 Club offered lavish drag shows three times nightly for 20 plus years before becoming a rock and roll club (where Wayne County, the New York Dolls and the Mumps played among others) and today serves as a gay male cruising ground.

Incorporating hundreds of photos spanning the history of the space as well as rare audio and video clips Joe E. Jeffreys’ multi-media talk stirs up tales and ghosts of the fabled club.

This special event is part of HOT! Dixon Place’s 16th Annual NYC Celebration of Queer Culture.
