Visiting NY City 1 night This Saturday

In nyc? I assume you mean manhattan. Brooklyn, bronx, staten island and queens are all part of nyc. There are others that will disagree but i consider manhattan a wasteland for strip clubs.

Yeah. I get that. I’m asking what the best option in Manhattan is. As stated, I’m stayinj about a mile away from Ricks.

The Lido Room seems alright but doesn't work like a typical strip club - supposedly they rent out different venues and one has to email them ahead of time to get on the guest list and be informed of the location for the particular night - AFAIK decent dances but no extras

Thanks Papi. I did get on that list but it seems Saturday May not be a good night for it. I will see when they send the invite.

If you're used to clubbing in S. FL, you're going to be sorely disappointed by the state of affairs in NYC. This is especially true in Manhattan. The locals generally leave Manhattan strip clubs for the tourists unless they are independently wealthy or on a special night out with the guys and content to buy $14 beers and $20 mixed drinks, all the while having each girl they dance with try to sell them on a private room at $500+ (that's just for the room, not including the tip to the dancer, the VIP host and the waitress, lol).

If you are Hell bent on clubbing in NYC, then consider making the hike out to Gallagher 2000. The drinks are cheaper, the cover charge is lower, the stage shows are better (more lighting and ore movement) and, if you decide to go to a private area for a bit of fun with a hot girl, you won't have to take a second mortgage out on the house. I normally take the 7 line out to Long Island City (part of Queens closest to Manhattan) and then uber it back late at night. Trust me when I say the $30 you'll pay to get back to Manhattan is a bargain in comparison to burning cash in a high cost/low ROI Manhattan club.

Manhattan clubs are expensive. You can drink $12 beers and look at eye candy. If you want any action from the dancers, you need to spend $1K to $2K.

IDK much about the NYC/Manhattan clubs but they don't seem extras-friendly, in case you're you're ultra-focused on that - seems one will pay a few hundred and not get much in return, but I'm not sure

@Papi, it's easy to burn 500+ in a Manhattan club, without ever going to a backroom, and not know where it went. It starts when you run your bar tab up buy getting yourself and a dancer buzzed and continues when she is doing $20 LDs right in your seat.

@Max: To add, you'll probably easily burn a few hundred in G2k as well, but it's all relative. The biggest difference between G2k and Manhattan clubs is the relatively economical private VIP booths. There is just no way to club in NYC without dropping some cash unless you limit yourself to being a spectator.

I hope these guys gave you some cool insight. I'm not sure why you PMed me this morning about NYC clubs. I have not a single review about any NYC clubs and honestly know nothing about them.

Nonetheless, good luck and I hope you find a good club out there.

I echo everyones comments on NY. Its not a SC destination. Your safer to find a porn star to do OTC with whos in the area.

My advice is to go back to jfk and fly out of that shithole!

Good stuff gents. Thanks for all the comments. This is swaying me from Ricks to Gallagher's. I
ts a quick 15 min Uber from my hotel. I was planning on a 600 (calm) to 1000.00 (Lit up) night and it seems like Gallaghers may be my best shot at achieving. Obviously a lot easier to have a good time in Miami but I'm happy to blow some money in the name of supporting some NY honeys.

Im reading reviews that people can have a time with $20 dances in nyc at flashdancers, etc. I would avoid the rip off vip but im curious why dances are only 20 in nyc but 30 in columbus ohio.

"but im curious why dances are only 20 in nyc but 30 in columbus ohio."

Makes no sense really.

Wow that budget is mindblowing on so many levels.

Strike 1: Spending more than $200 at a Strip cLub
Strike 2: Spending money at a NYC strip club, these places are pretty much tourist traps, made to milk money out of bachelorette parties and newbies. Trust me, you would be amazed how many guys drive 45 minutes for the true club experience in jersey
Strike 3: Planning in advance to spend so much money

Again, what would be the benefit of spending so much in an NYC club? The going rate for 2 hours with a 9 porn star is around 700 to 900. They routinely visit NYC. That price is probably including the hotel room and room service as well. Just dont forget to bring wet wipes to clean yourself off and the hotel remote!

I can understand if you want to do this in vegas, but NYC seems a bit off.

STAY AWAY FROM MANHATTAN AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!!!
i used to even take other trips co other states and canada, even when manhattan was still going strong club wise during the 90's. either head to queens or nj for better value and a better time. queens day shift but since you said sat nite then try new jersey.

You can get better action, cheaper at any of the nicer hotel bars in Manhattan, than you’ll get in any NYC Strip Club.

Dorothy, you ain't in Ohio anymore. ;)

LDs are easy for the girls to stack in NYC clubs and are a primer to try to sell very expensive VIP rooms. Your not going to cum in your pants for short money in a Manhattan club.

Also, if LDs were your only expense you might be ok, but it won't be. If you are not spending on drinks, you won't be welcome in the club for very long. Also, if a girl sits with you, she will expect a drink too, each one likely north of $20 and refusal to buy one will make you look cheap and likely lead to the girl walking away.

Net-net NYC clubs are not places where a dude can walk around in his sweat pants, nursing a bottle of water the whole time, and bide his time waiting for the right opportunity to carefully deploy his capital. They are churn and burn operations often filled with high grade hustlers, from the dancers to the bar and floor staff.

@max: IMHO 600 -1000 will go a lot further in Gallaghers than it will in a Manhattan club. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Thanks. Yeah, I’m thinking Gallagher’s is the one (unless when I get the invite from Lido and Saturday looks ok) my concern is that one of the Saturday reviews for Gallagher s said there was only 6 girls there.
Again, thanks for all the replies. Gents, I get that NYC is not South Florida. I get that there are even better values (regular bars, pros, etc)
Im just trying to find the best place to have a good time and spend some money. I saw Ricks has a $350.00 special that includes a bottle and and cover for 5. That does not sound bad at all. I’m traveling with a buddy from down here, and Spending 350 on cover and drinks is not bad at all. Specially between 2 guys. Is that club just not good for dances and potential VIP? Again, kind of mixed reviews. It does seem like there would be more girls there.

Lido is just a heavily monitored LD factory. No stage shows and no private VIP areas. Also, like other Manhattan clubs, shot and mixed drinks are $20 a pop.

At Ricks, even with a 350 bottle w/ cover included, $1,000 isn't going to get you very far if you are looking for VIP or even to do much partying if dancer drinks are involved.

Do what you want of course, but G2k has cheaper booze (for NYC clubs), stage performances that include topless tip walks, and private VIPs in curtained booths that run $180 for a half hour. So go where the tourists go or go where the locals go - again your call. :)

How many girls are there typically on a Saturday night? I’m leaning towards Gallagher’s

^Depends on the time of night. The club is open until 4 am, so many of the girls role in as the night goes on. At shift change at 8 there may be only 10-15 girls, but by midnight on a busy Saturday night, I'm sure that there will be dozens.

Flashdancers and Ricks are the way to go if you’re in Manhattan.
