Almost paradise

So Lido is a "private" club. That means you need to send them an email on their website to get on their email/invitation list. That's all. It is similar to St. Venus Theater, also operating in NYC.

It is held at different venues three nights per week. The value is good, after $20 at the door, $20 gets you full length songs in a separate semi-private room with shares couches.

The dancers should be hotter. They're almost all 5-7s. A letdown. Then there's the double-edged sword that these are not, by and large, career strippers. So you get the girl-next-door thing, but you also get some of the most God-awful lap dances you've ever had (think Energizer bunny on meth). A lot of them have no idea whatsoever what they're doing.
