This is a review of a new lapdance party in NYC. I'm not gonna fuck around trying to add it to TUSCL as a club since it is a faux-underground club and I am probably going to be the only PL to ever review it. This LD party has been mentioned already at tuscl.net . CLVT seems to have started in Jan 2017. It is a near clone of Lido business model wise. Coat check $5. Cover is $20 before 10 PM, $40 after. The venue is a restaurant in midtown. CLVT operates at the same place 4 days a week. On 1 day a week, another more popular roving LD party operates at the place. I strongly suspect the restaurant owner learned the business model of a LD party after hosting one and is trying to do it himself instead letting a promoter/LD party owner take profit.
At this particular venue, for all LD parties, CLVT and the mainstream one, you have to walk through an open to the public area, with no public customers being aware what is going on in the back room. You wont be stopped and asked going to the back by any of the public side employees of venue. Officially, entry is 3 ways, daily changing "password" SVT/MN style, business card (Lido has them, I didnt ask the CLVT doorman for one), or show email newsletter Lido/Die Happy style. In real life, it was so dead, anyone who walked upto him, he knows what you there for, no need to play games, just say "is this CLVT?" and he said welcome. Signing up for the newsletter is the typical LD party application form, name, age, FB link, boxes for all LD parties. I gave it a phone number as "0". I was still added to the ML.
At this restaurant, when the popular LD party is there, men/customers arent allowed to use the private area single user bathrooms, those are reserved for dancers. And LD customers must go into the public area and use those public area single user bathrooms, usually forming a line. At CLVT, since it was so dead, I just used the private area single user bathrooms, each of which had an 8x11 sheet taped to the door that said women. Waste of calories to hoof it to the public side of the restaurant. Nobody is going to stop me. Im not making any dancers wait on line anyways.
The LD party staff consists of 2 bouncers and 1 doorman/cover cashier. Note when visiting the mainstream LD party at the restaurant, on the one day that CLVT ISNT open, the CLVT staff are physically at the mainstream LD party but are just hanging out doing nothing. They are probably the day to day restaurant staff. They wouldn't tell me why they are there at a non-CLVT night when I approached them. But otherwise nothing negative to say about my interactions with them on my CLVT visit. Soda is $7, same as the other LD party at the venue. The bartender's soda gun doesn't have Diet Coke so there was unprofessional drama of her having to goto the basement of the restaurant and get 12 oz cans of it instead of keeping it at the bar. When this venue is used for the mainstream LD party, there was a couple sternos of food placed out for the 100+ ppl at the LD party (strippers+customers). No food at CLVT. Wouldnt make sense for 5 ppl in the room. There was a "communal" hookah set up in the corner and strippers and staff were taking hits, not knowing protocol (if I'd be charged for it), I declined when offered.
I was the only customer when I came at 9pm. There were 3 girls. Around 930PM another very old very fat very rich PL came. I left around 10PM he was still there. From my breif interactions with that PL, he has been here before, but he was the type that he was completly hiding here from everyone else in his life, so he was very curt. Of the girls, 1 mixed race, 1 dark italian skinny with big nat tits, 1 skinny bimbo blonde with fake tits. Both the italian and the bimbo have poledancing club backgrounds. I didn't interact with the mixed race girl. The 2 girls attitude for talking was excellent but I strongly got the Manhattan strip club vibe, not the LD party vibe from both. These 2 were not "college girls" (they were age wise tho) who responded to a "modeling ad" on CL and have no preconcived notions of what a SC is. They were programmed to be Manhattan poledancers.
LDs were very good grinding, some mileage, but both quickly in the 1st song verbally shut down anything high mileage on their own intiative. Manhattan poledancer vibe, reminds me of Sapphire. I stopped at 1-2 songs with each since this wasn't going to be a Lido or Masked Nights experiance. LDs were done behind Shoji room dividers. I dont belive the room dividers are ever moved between CLVT and its competitor at this venue. Unlike the other LD party, a bouncer wasn't standing in the LD area watching me and the other PL, so this LD party might have high mileage assuming the right girls work there. At one point I got half a song free because of a music problem and a cut off song and 10 seconds of silence. Slightly unprofessionaly that that happened.
Overall, competition is always good, this LD party is basically dead (or "new"), but the girls are NOT bottom of barrel. There are hiring standards here. Since there is nobody here but you and her, she can't really run off to another PL, or run off and huddle in a corner of disinterested strippers on their phones ignoring you. You will get a really hot girl, with alot of chatting, for very few songs. I'll come back in a few weeks, preferably as late in the week as possible, and see if anything changed mileage or girl count wise.
Come here if you already know all the girls and burned through them at SVT/MN/DH/LDR or you dont want your girl to run after "dances are done", because there is nobody else to run too.
Good info. Thanks for being the pioneer.
