Best gay night
The traditional greeting to a same-sex classmate you've impulsively shagged - "Man, I was so drunk last
night" - is thankfully approaching extinction. The preferred alternative is "Man, you were so hot on the
dance floor last night," and it's especially popular among patrons of Thursday nights at ManRay, a repeat
winner in this category. The crowd itself is a big attraction here, ranging from MIT geeks and Harvard jocks
to a few potential sugar daddies. But plenty of boys (and a fair number of lesbians) just come to lose
themselves in the tunes, spun by Chris Ewen ("alternative boypop") and Brad Gwynn ("high-energy house").
The south-of-the-Charles champion is the granddaddy - sorry, the grande dame - of gay nightlife in Boston.
Avalon packs them in on Sunday nights and is probably responsible for thousands of workplace mistakes on
Monday mornings. Spin-master Darren Friedman is joined by big-name circuit-party DJs and more shirtless
go-go boys than you can shake a stick at (if that's your idea of a good time).
Campus at ManRay, 21 Brookline Street, Cambridge, (617) 864-0400; Avalon, 15 Lansdowne Street, Boston, (617) 262-2424.
