Splash reigns as Chelsea's only exclusively gay dance club. In essence, it's a two-floor affair: the ground floor has two large, square bars, one up front and one in the back, and small tables and giant video screens in-between. Downstairs where go-go boys show their go-gos (and accept tips) to a lounge area . Splash's bartenders are uniformly hot. When the ground floor turns into a hopping dance floor (usually 9pm), things get packed beyond your wildest dreams -- scores of sweaty, shirtless sex gods shaking their groove thing.

Musical Mondays at Splash

True New Yorkers know that there is only one place to go on Monday in Manhattan and that is Broadway's longest running video showcase at Splash Bar. From 7pm till midnight. VJ John Bantay (see below) dazzles his loyal fans with a marathon of Broadway show tunes, movie musicals, and hilarious comedy. Before you stop clapping for one extravaganza, you'll be belly laughing at the antics of film legends such as Carol Lombard, Marilyn Monroe and maybe even Madonna.

Now every Monday, catch our latest addidtion to Musical Mondays -- SCOTT NEVINS' CURTAIN CALL Series. Get there early to grab a seat to watch these legendary musical numbers on the screens, and then sit tight as a different Broadway belter livens things up in person!

Bon Voyage Party Aboard QM2 in New York

Just imagine the world’s most legendary ocean liner – sailing out of one of the world’s most incredible cities…

RSVP passengers will gather on the open decks of the QM2 to raise a glass of champagne in honor of the Queen(s) as we sail form the docks in Brooklyn, out past the island of Manhattan towards the Verrazano Narrows Bridge.  As we bid farewell to the Big Apple, we will pay homage to Lady Liberty off to our starboard side and the sun sets to the west.

A spectacular musical score will accompany our sail away as we make history as the first ever GLBT charter to sail across the Atlantic Ocean from New York to Southampton, UK.

Wear you patriotism if you wish, or simply wave an American or rainbow flag as we embark on this historic crossing.

Ascot Ball

This is a Cunard tradition in the style of the Grand Salon Balls of the past.

Based on the famous scene from the musical “MY FAIR LADY” – this hat party is based on the Ascot scene where all the ladies and gentlemen wore fabulous hats.  In the play, Professor Higgins escorts Eliza Doolittle to the horse races to let her mingle with the upper crust.  The scene begins with a lavish costume parade (Cecil Beaton designed the original) and includes enormous and intricate hats on all the ladies in attendance.

The tradition continues today at Ascot – where horse racing enthusiasts still don fabulous hats when they cheer on their favorite steed.

RSVP guests will be encouraged to follow in the style of the event and create and wear fabulous hats.  The entire color scheme is Black & White.  A competition will be included – with prizes going to the most creative entries.

Troop Transport Party

Many Cunard (and other lines) ships have been used during war times to transport military troops around the world.  Most recently, the QE2 was completely refitted to transport troops to the Falkland Islands for military purposes.

In the style of that type of use of the ships, RSVP will throw a “Troop Transport” Party in the magnificent Queens Room – the largest ballroom on the high seas.

Passengers are encouraged to dress in “uniform” for this event.  In addition to fabulous music mixed by a top name DJ – RSVP will feature a “DIVA” at some point during the evening in the Queens Room.  The party will continue into the early morning in G32 – the QM2 disco adjacent to the Queens Room.

Cockney T-Dance

While the upper crust is sipping their English tea and sampling sweets in the Winter Garden, the rest of the passengers will be kicking up their heals in the Queens Room at the Cockney Tea Dance. Let your hair down, dress in your most comfortable Cockney garb and join the crowd on the biggest dance floor afloat. With DJ Wendy Hunt spinning the tunes, this afternoon party is sure to be a hit!

G32 Leather Party

Sponsored by the Barracks Bar (Palm Springs hot spot), this intimate nightclub will be full of leather-clad passengers dancing to the sounds of DJ Pagano.
