2 days agoMade in Fire Island: how artists were at the heart of the LGBTQ+ mecca
Leilah Babirye's journey to Fire Island reveals its rich history as a haven for LGBTQ+ artists and their creative expressions.
Located at 196 North 10th Street between the Bedford Avenue L train stop and McCarren Park, Oberon features spacious retro seating and tables, mirrors, industrial windows, and walls adorned with vibrant art by Gerrard Deecey. The latter includes one piece depicting the Stonewall Uprising and other ones paying tribute to historic LGBTQ icons like the late trans activist Marsha P. Johnson and the late Brooklyn-born gay DJ Larry Levan.
