Made my first trip to NYC...

Made my first trip to NYC recently and had to check out a few of the clubs while in town. I knew going into it, having read the reviews here on tuscl, that NYC was not going to be a place full of high-contact clubs. Still, what would a trip to the Big Apple be without a trip to a few SCs. I visited three clubs while in town and my last visit was to Stiletto. The other two were Flashdancers and Gallaghers (see separate reviews). I tried to attend a fourth club, VIP Club, but it was closed on a Sunday evening and I didn't try it again.

Location is good as it's on 8th Avenue, one block over from Times Square. It's on a stip full of porn shops and bars. Getting in the door is a total rip-off. First of all you are greeted by this guido character who sounds like he works for the mob. He tells you it's $20 to enter the club. Even though I had a half-off coupon from a local magazine, they weaseled their way out of honoring it and made me pay full price. I was in no position to argue as I felt I would have roughed up if I had said anything about it. Then I had to pay the doorman another $10 to "seat me and take care of me for the evening". Then once inside, I had to pay the waitress $10 for the bottomless juice bar (soft drinks and/or water). Since this was a nude club, no alcohol was served. So I'm already down $40 and I haven't even seen or done anything yet.

Finally, after sitting down gingerly following the $40 reaming I just received, I was able to assess the club. There is one stage and only one girl on stage at a time while the other girls mingle around and try to hit you up for dances. Thee is no "bar" to sit at, it's just chairs near the stage and couches along the wall. The girls ranged from 5-7, most were natural, several were Eastern European. Stiletto is the only one of the three clubs I visited that is all nude, but even that's not always the case. Some of the girls will only get topless while others will only pull the g-string aside for a few brief flashes. About half the girls on stage actually got totally nude.
