Detroit strip clubs
I spent most of August in New York, and I have some observations about strip clubbing in our biggest city.
Manhattan strippers are very attractive. They ranged from 7 to 10, and I saw none of the fatties or fuglies that can spoil your viewing pleasure in other locales.
The strippers are foreigners such as Columbians, Ukrainians, Russians, and Dominicans. Do any native born Americans strip in NYC?
The clubs were upscale, clean and safe. Like the rest of New York, the strip clubs in the last 25 years have lost their grittiness.
The clubs are very expensive. I avoided the outrageous cover charges by going in the daytime or by obtaining free passes from the clubs' websites.
Like everything else in NYC, drink prices were much higher than in the rest of the country. But the clubs had "happy hour" from noon till 4PM, which helped a lot. The one time I went to a club at night the drink prices nearly made me a teetotaler.
The lap dance areas are not private and they are patrolled by bouncers who make it a no fun zone. The girls will sit on your lap and grind on you, but you can't touch their goodies.
Dancers hinted that more fun could be had in the champagne room, but these rooms cost $500 to $600. I'm too cheap to pay that.
OTC must be available, but at a high price. I tried to persuade a hot blonde Columbian to go home with me. I started with a $500 offer and kept raising it until I reached $1000. She declined! In Detroit, $1000 would get me 3 strippers and a herd of sheep.
The best thing about clubbing in New York City was the subway. The subway is cheap and fast and efficient (although often too crowded). With the subway, you don't have to pay those annoying valet parking charges and you won't get arrested for DUI.

I'm booking my flight this afternoon.
Maybe she thought you wanted to bring her back to Detroit?
Things may start getting harder extraswise now. Not like around 2000 but the easiest of times may also be come to an end some day,
I've never clubbed in NY, but I'm not surprised one bit that the dancers are extremely attractive. NY also has a vast variety of ethnicities, so no matter what type of dancer you like, I'm sure they've got it.
P.S.
Nice to have you back – thought something had happened to you after your long TUSCL absence
(unless you meant a hot blond from Columbia Univ :))
I rarely club anymore in Manhattan.
@motorhead: Cheetah and Sapphire in Manhattan, or Gallaghers in Long Island City, among other clubs, will offer you all the Eastern European girls you could ever want, including Ukrainian girls. I will tell you that the bonds of sisterhood among Eastern European strippers who are here are stronger than whatever divides the people back in the Ukraine. I was sitting with a Ukrainian stripper a couple of months ago and she spent some time talking about friends who are in the Ukrainian military and have been involved in this mess, but it wasn't impacting her (and other Ukrainian girls who she knew) relationship with the Russian girls. They still all live in the same areas and travel to the clubs in the same vans.
Clubbing in NYC is unlike clubbing anywhere else. In Manhattan, there are only 16 clubs in a place with millions of residents, business travelers, commuters who work in the city, and tourists, many of whom have high incomes. Jacklash nailed the pricing issues - the economics of these clubs are distorted as compared to clubs almost anywhere else, including the income expectations of club dancers.
They have been bad since then. High $ for low mileage. Not worth it, so even thought I get into NYC a bunch, I no longer waste my money on NYC clubs.
“… NYC used to have great clubs many many years ago. Then mayor Giuliani got into office, and was determined to clean up NYC. So as part of his campaign, the SC were also included.

Perhaps the 2nd statement answers the 1st – custies in the know, know to avoid NYC – so perhaps dancers in the know, know NYC is not worth it and thus only foreign dancers with not many options are the ones that take these dancing jobs?
In fairness, three strippers and a herd of sheep are all that's left in Detroit. OK, all that's left that isn't owned by Mike Ilitch or GM.
