BaronArtz Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Never went to Rounds, but I was a frequent visitor to Gaiety. Cats, Stella's and of course Show Palace at that time. Memories! I would probably remember you if you were there late 1980s. What was your stage name? marylander1940 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buff Daddy Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Yes. Buffdaddy loved Cats, Gaiety, Show Palace ❤️. Eros, Adonis Threater. Good Days will never see again. Early afternoon shows at the Gaiety 1:15. Can you imagine asking a Dancer today to be at work at that time. Don't forget the Hotels on 8 Ave. The lullaby of Broadway was that on 8? I remember the commercials on TV. Who remembers the Follies? Something like the Gaiety. Nude male entertainment. I saw Porn Star John King there. We had a hot 🔥 time in the back. The place didn't last long after CBS Channel 2 sent a reporter to go check the place out after hearing about illegal activities 🙄. + Cock Eyed Optimist, Cooper and liubit 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ azdr0710 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 a very straight friend of mine danced at the Gaiety for a couple weeks in the early 'aughts, I believe.....a regular customer hired him to go spend some private time at a hotel room, something my friend had done several times before in different contexts........according to my friend's telling of the story, the regular Gaiety customer became upset when my friend wouldn't do all the customer wanted and went and complained to the Gaiety manager.......the friend was promptly "fired" and he was a bit upset at the time, he says........ pubic_assistance and Luv2play 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buff Daddy Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Let's not forget why we really went to the Gaiety for. The punch bowl and pretzels or chips lol. The boys would all stand in the telephone ☎️ room. Pay telephones how ancient. You could make a call or most would wait for a incoming call. They did business that way as well. The Gaiety was the best before the Pakistani guys were hired as baby sitters. Thanks Mr Guilliani. I use to wait by the Howard Johnsons to make sure I didn't see anyone I knew, before climbing those stairs. My first time there was I believe October of 1976.What a terrible thing that we actually had to socialize with other Gay men in real time those days. liubit, deepplease, BonVivant and 3 others 1 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the punch bowl in the side room (no way I way going to drink that stuff). Back in the 1990's I had a job that required me to spend a couple of days in NYC, about 4 times per year. The Gaiety was always on my list of things to do. My first hire was Big Frank from Canada. He was a bodybuilder.

Lol This thread is bringing back so many memories and good times . Meeting other gay men chatting around the punch bowl, drooling over a dancer or two .

RyanDean Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Ahh. Rounds. I worked weekend nights at an office just around the corner in the very early 1990s when I was in my very early 20s, so I passed in front of Rounds about 1030 every Friday and Saturday night for almost two years. A few weeks after I started, a few of the "outside" guys (remember them?) noticed my commute and seemed concerned that I had a hustle going that they didn't know about. So each night a different one would walk with me for half a block or so, chatting me up in their respective fashions, trying to suss me out. I loved the attention, but they quickly clocked that I was just another broke civilian... I loved GAIETY but, as I've discussed in another thread, SHOW PALACE will forever hold a special place in my pervy little heart.

BaronArtz Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) 3 hours ago, liubit said: I couldn’t have said it better, @RyanDean Agreed! Show Palace had a more diverse group of dancers. white, latino and black. Gaiety was more vanilla. It was rare to see a black dancer at Gaiety. Show Palace was raunchier. Not unusual for dancers to have sex with the clients sitting next to the stage. Or at the very least, jerk them off. I don't recall seeing that at the Gaiety. Having said that, I always had a good time at the Gaiety. But I did hire more often at Show Palace, Cats and Stella's.

+ JEC Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I went to Rounds once in my 20's (mid 80s?), it was my first time to NYC as a young single man (and I was terrified LOL). I met a hot guy who was a dancer, complete with dancer legs and a dancer's ass. He took me back to his apartment, where I drilled his perky butt.....and stayed the night. I was way too naive then to know that Rounds was a hustler bar 🙄 Danny-Darko, + bashful, + Vegas_Millennial and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was tall (6'4") blond and fairly buff would think muscular before lean as the descriptor. He could pass for Swedish lookswise but he was defitnitely American - no accent. Maybe for marketing purposes he said Swedish and that well could have been his lineage. But 98% sure he was from Alaska. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
