Galaxy 21 was located on West 23rd St. between 7th & 8th Avenues & ran from 1972 to 1976, a multilevel club most notable for the exceptional music sets put together by DJ Walter Gibbons. To add a soul-stirring experience, the owner of Galaxy 21 George Freeman hired Francois Kevorkian to play live drum alongside Walter's epic mixes. Boasting a tunnel-like dance floor, restaurant, movie screening room, several open bars & game rooms, this was a happening spot where a diverse crowd together with celebrities would line up to enter & bang the night away.
‘‘I was a member at the Galaxy 21 for several years when Walter Gibbons was the DJ there. This was one of the most beautiful clubs at the time. It had three floors with various interesting rooms to dance or hang out in. I loved this place it had great crowed & Walter Gibbons was a maestro. Thanks, I have years of great memories.’’ - Arlene
