A performance by mayfield brooks with cellist Dorothy Carlos inside the Wavertree at South Street Seaport. Photo: Cherylynn Tsushima. TWENTY YEARS LIVING IN NEW YORK, I’ve visited the South Street Seaport exactly once, for a friend’s book launch at a swank McNally Jackson on Fulton Street.

Hard-core nightlife denizens are not necessarily archivists or librarians—though legendary drag journalist and bingo maven Linda Simpson is clearly an exception. On two separate visits to this presentation of Simpson’s seminal queer zine, My Comrade—which was also a celebration of the periodical’s thirty-fifth anniversary—I was able to revel in the aftershocks and ephemera of downtown Manhattan’s queer nightlife scene, spanning 1987 to the present.
