Well, it’s that time of the year again, when New York City’s nightlife notables are recognized at the Glammy Awards. Now in its 14th year, Manhattan nightlife staple Cherry Jubilee coordinates the presentation and nominations annually based on suggestions from those working in the nightlife business.
Last week, Cherry blasted out blank nomination forms to the members of LGBT nightlife and asked them for their feedback on who should get this year’s nods.
While GaySocialites.com would like to recognize everyone in New York nightlife for their hard work and contributions, the following nightlife celebrities have caught the eye of the editorial board and thus are endorsing them in their respective categories. We hope anyone who received a nomination form will take these hardworking and amazing New Yorkers into consideration.
