As some NYC nights get a bit crazier than others, the evening I visited Flashdancers is at the top of my list. Passing by Flashdancers, with their red coat doorman, curiosity got the best of me and a friend, so we decided to give it a look-see. We went with a male friend and were treated like any other (mostly male) customer, including the door charge. Upon walking down the stairs (yes, basement stripclub!), we HAD to check our bags. We grabbed a table near the stage and within seconds, a server was requesting our drink order. $15 for a vodka/Red Bull? OK, just this once. The dancers are pretty but I agree with the Zagat editorial - better from afar than close-up. But, being a girl in a strip club, they were friendly and treated you like other customers, trying to get lap dances - private and public - from all visitors. One note for the ladies: Don't go here feeling insecure; the ladies room also doubles as the girls' changing room. :)
