Queens on Thrones: Drag queens invade NYC bathrooms
The queen: “Showbiz spitfire” Paige Turner burst on the NYC scene a couple of years ago, and quickly became a fixture of NYC nightlife, hosting and performing at a wide variety of events in Hell’s Kitchen and beyond.
The Throne: Vinyl. This campy comfort-food haven takes its music theme to the furthest extreme in its restrooms—each is a shrine to a different musician (in this case, Dolly Parton).
