This is one of the most...

This is one of the most luxurious clubs I’ve ever been in. The seats on the main floor are large and comfortable – big enough to have a dancer spend time with you sitting on your lap. There’s a very large staff, but I’ve never seen them hassle a customer. The waitresses aren’t pushy – a good thing, because prices here are high ($17-20 for a cocktail), on top of the $20 entrance fee (waived if you have a reservation at the restaurant upstairs (itself very pricey)). Oddly, dancers circulate in the restaurant as well as on the main floor; they’ll sit with customers, or provide dances between courses.

The dancers are probably the best looking I’ve seen in New York or, really, anywhere else – a mix of ethnicities, but mostly American. (I disagree with the comments of some of the recent reviewers that the dancers are predominantly non-American.) About half the dancers have small tattoos, mostly on the lower back; the others don’t have any tattoos. Monday nights are “lingerie nights” – revealing lingerie instead of long dresses.

Personalities vary, of course; Hailey is a beautiful blond, but doesn’t seem to connect with her clients (and has the Jenna Jameson-recommended technique of getting closer with each dance, which can add up if you’re interested in even mild contact). My favorite is Mikayla, a very pretty blond from Australia, who offers about as much contact as you can get in New York. I like her personality, too, but of course that’s something that differs for each customer.
