This was a great read. Thank you, Mr. Frydlewicz. Does anyone remember the name of the bar on 9th Avenue, between 55th and 56th Street, in the middle of the block on the east side of the street? It was there for much of the 1980's, at least. There was a small balcony in the back, and a large 0 shaped bar in the front. The cruising there was tremendous. I had great times there and now I'm so g.d. old I can't remember the name of the place. Billy's? In Chelsea? Were you even possibly in Billy's Topless on Sixth Avenue at 24th Street? Broadening horizons, perhaps?
