Still one of my favorites!

I've lived in NYC for 6 years, and I've been faithfully going to the Ritz. It's hysterical, it's a lot of fun, the music is great, and the drag is excellent. I've had some of my fondest memories at The Ritz. I love it. Sometimes, later in the evening, there can be a line to get in, and it does get a bit crowded as it's on the smaller side, but just go upstairs! Love it here

Fun place

Was sad that Splash and BPM have both closed down... but this place is fun to let loose and dance away.. kind of narrow compared to the previous clubs but it will do.
