As a long time East Village NYC denizen, my nascent gay years were at Dick’s and The Cock. Amazingly The Cock remains in its third raunchy rendition on 2nd Ave. Now in my more advanced years, still enjoy a pint at Nowhere, The Boiler Room or Phoenix. All have a local neighborhood vibe though the latter two can often have a lot of women and their “I’m comfortable with my manhood” str8 paramours. I do sometimes miss the gogo boys on the bar at Urge. Sadly Urge was replaced by Unleashed... a doggie daycare center, now defunct.
