NYC clubs ‘very aware’ after Orlando shooting

In the wake of a fatal massacre in Orlando early Sunday, New York’s gay clubs were being extra careful with security Sunday night.

” We have been contacted by the police department and have been told that there is no intel involving a correlated terrorist attack of any kind, but we have been asked to remain very aware of our surroundings and report anything suspicious if we see it,” said James Wells, bar manager at Therapy nightclub in Hell’s Kitchen.

Wells said he was hopeful customers would still feel comfortable enough to come out.

“It is the Tony’s tonight, and we do show them, so hopefully some people will not be afraid to come out,” he said.

Clubs throughout the city also offered their condolences to the victims and their families.

“Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims, their families and the entire Orlando community. ‪#‎PrayersForOrlando‬,” XL New York wrote on its Facebook page.
