True Colors is one of the hottest gay spots in Jackson Heights, with an ironically decorated monochrome interior lit up with pulsating laser lights that flash to the beat of the music. The genres on offer range from salsa to reggaeton and Top 40, so there's something for all tastes. The crowd is mixed, as happy hour is popular with the older gays but late at night the bar is packed with a younger crowd.
