One of the reasons it was eagerly awaited was the fact that the building that houses HUSH was previously home to another much-beloved gay bar called Therapy. Riding on the trend of opening exciting new venues such as the Q, owner Bob Fluet has teamed up with business partner Rob Hynds and opened HUSH, which was one of the most anticipated openings of this year. As soon as gay bars were able to turn the party lights back on, queer New Yorkers packed venues and have been carrying on as true loyal patrons. Many new amazing venues have opened this year, changing the way LGBTQ people party in the city that never sleeps. It’s a renaissance of NYC nightlife these days.
