PHOTOS: Our Night Out at The Ritz-Carlton

By Bryan Buttler· 11/13/2014, 9:36 a.m.

It was a swanky (and PACKED) Wednesday evening affair as gay Philly drank, socialized, and nibbled their way through the iconic Ritz-Carlton on the Avenue of the Arts. The ever-popular Our Night Out happy hour and social-networking event was hosted by OPAL, an umbrella organization that aims to unify LGBTQ sporing groups throughout Philadelphia. Of course, everyone has to thank the great folks at the Delaware Valley Legacy Fund for coordinating Our Night Out and making it one of the best social events every month. We were there to capture everyone’s snazzy attire and handsome smiles.
