Wednesday afternoon after the Monster Lizard,...

Wednesday afternoon after the Monster Lizard, so maybe it's a little uncommonly quiet. That's okay with me; I like the attention. The club is two or so blocks from the mid-town Sheraton and the mid-town Hilton, so awfully convenient for those conventions and meetings. Like mine.

No cover (I think until 5) and 2-4-1 drinks until 3pm. Otherwise the drinks are NYC-priced (ie, vodka-tonic $17; Heineken $16) Annoyances: $3 coat check plus tip. TIP THE BARTENDERS at least a couple of bucks. And then there is the faucet boy in the bano. Gotta tip him a buck for each time he tells you to "enjoy the tetas".

In the afternoons, the dancers will stop, sit and talk and some even provide a little hands-on demonstration of how good a dance would be. Plus the private dance area is quieter, more roomy and, it seems to me, has more latitude. But it is right off the main area, no separate room, no kind of privacy barrier at all. Always good looking dancers at FD but this trip had a welcome improvement. I found that the dancers were paying more attention to mr. happy in their dances, even a few very interested in giving him a hand, much more than I found the last time I was there. I found one particular eastern European cutie (Russian) that was particularly attentive (within the limits of an open lap dance area with bouncers frequently (but not always) looking on.
