The Music Box
One of the more welcoming gay bars (and one of the oldest in the area—the Music Box has been around for 18 years), this primarily Latino spot houses a pool table and five televisions. Drinks are cheap, and Thursday is drag night, with performances from local queens to knock your panty hose off. Here’s a piece of trivia: Though the clientele is largely Latino, the bar’s owner has a rule that all employees must speak both Spanish and English, sending those who need help for language classes. 40-08 74th St at Roosevelt Ave (718-457-5306)![]()
