Vintage BARRAGE New York City Matchbook Gay Bar Lounge LGBTQ NOS & Sardi's
This was located in Hell's Kitchen, NY. A little more low-key than other gay bars in the area, Barrage is the perfect place to relax with some friends and enjoy a few drinks—making it distinctly different than some of its counterparts that are known for their thumping music and raging dance floors. The friendly bartenders and clientele add to the relaxed vibe at Barrage. Good happy hour deals that resurface in the later hours make it an ideal spot to start or end your night.

Sardi's is a continental restaurant located at 234 West 44th Street, between Broadway and Eighth Avenue, in the Theater District of Manhattan, New York City.[1] Sardi's opened at its current location on March 5, 1927.
It is known for the caricatures of Broadway celebrities on its walls, of which there are over a thousand. Sardi's was founded by Vincent Sardi Sr. and his wife Jenny Pallera, who had previously operated a restaurant nearby between 1921 and 1926. To attract customers, Sardi Sr. hired Russian refugee Alex Gard to draw caricatures in exchange for free food. Even after Gard's death, Sardi's continued to commission caricatures. Following the death of Vincent Sardi Sr. in 1969, Sardi's started to decline in the 1980s, eventually being sold off in 1986. After closing temporarily in 1990, it reopened with new staff. The restaurant is today considered an institution in Broadway theatre. Over the years, the restaurant became known as a pre- and post-theater hangout, as well as a location for opening night parties, and was where the idea of the Tony Award was devised.
