| Krash Klub in San Juan, Puerto Rico |
Krash Klub which prides itself in serving the world since 1990 is one of Puerto Rico's hottest LGBT night clubs. When I asked a waiter during dinner what was the best time to go out in Puerto Rico, he said, You can get there at nine, but the party won't start till 1:00 a.m., Puertorican's like to party into the early morning.
He was right, if you arrive at Krash Klub at 10:00 p.m. you'll probably be the only one there, people usually arrive after midnight. Thursdays are packed with college students at La Diva Loca, a drag revue hosted by Jamie Sunflower featuring local and international talent. On this night I was lucky to see one of New York's finest- Sunny Dee-Light ( Miss Broadway Continental 2009 ) who was also visiting La Isla del Encanco. Watch Jamie Sunflower give a shout-out to former Krash Klub emcee Nina Flowers, who was recently featured on RuPaul's Drag Race. Although Flowers run ended as 2nd runner-up to the fabulous Bebe Zahara-Benet, in Puerto Rico Nina Flowers still reigns supreme.
