Hell’s Kitchen Local

I’m endlessly fascinated by it visually — the neon, saturated colors, characters and sheer absurdity of it all. I may not always love navigating the tourist crowds, but as a visual storyteller, it’s difficult not to be fascinated by the spectacle.

The New Dramatists has a striking Gothic aesthetic that has always captivated me. Long ago, the building served as a church, and that history can still be felt throughout its halls and architecture. Before the pandemic, it was a vibrant gathering place filled with activity and community.

The creative hub where we recorded Constellation. It’s been an independent recording studio for almost 30 years, hosting everyone from Aerosmith, Slash & Duff, Ozzy Osbourne, to Living Colour and The Fray — and now our band.

Industry is my very favorite gay bar in the city. It was the first gay bar I went to when I first moved to NYC. I still go there every Friday when DragRace is on. It's so fun and welcoming!

I enjoy visiting the Intrepid because it brings history, exploration and imagination together in one place. Seeing families discover the aircraft, submarine and space exhibits reminds me of the same curiosity I hope to encourage through Max's Adventures.

Baking is something I genuinely enjoy, so I love walking into Amy’s Bread and smelling the freshly baked bread and pastries. It often inspires me to go home, get back into my own kitchen and try making something new.

54 Below is an iconic Broadway supper club. I have performed there many times! It has great ambiance, wonderful tech and stage managers and a rich show business history in our beloved Hell’s Kitchen. It’s an honor to have my appearances there as part of my performance résumé!

The go-to spot for an egg & cheese sandwich and my regular neighborhood stop for a coffee, protein bar, or anything I need for a quick bite on the go.
