Flip Phone

CITY PAGE'S BEST PLACE TO MEET A SINGLE GAY MAN - 2014

Ah, the flip phone era. Boy bands topped the charts, Outkast kept things fresh and clean, and Destiny's Child were still together and wearing whimsical outfits designed by Tina Knowles. This glorious decade spanning 1996 to 2006 comes to life once a month at Honey's underground dance party in Northeast, an LGBTQ-friendly event that will bust you out of your usual night-at-the-bar rut. With themes like a Britney Spears pajama party, Mariah's Butterfly Jamboree, and "Bed, Bath, and Beyoncé," Flip Phone is more about keeping things fun than aggressively shopping the meat market — which is good because desperation isn't a cute look on anyone.
