Good Time

Been visiting this place mostly on Sunday nights, 2 or 3 times a month, for the past 3 or 4 months. It is a tourist trap – located in times square. The cover is $20 and unlike other clubs in the area, never could find a free pass to this place. On Sundays, they open at 8 pm and the crowd is usually pretty thin on most Sundays until at least midnight. There is a coat check – I believe it is $3 with tipping strongly encouraged. After walking down the long steep set of stairs, you pay a cover charge and walk to the right to enter the club and are greeted by 2 or 3 floor men. If you have a coat, they direct you to the left where the coat check is – set ahead is the large bar with seating on two sides and maybe three on slow nights (Sunday). Other days of the week, there are no chairs at the front side of the bar when you walk in. The floor men try to push you off to a waitress to get you a table, usually 3 or 4 waitresses waiting by the door area. They have three stages, the main stage, the VIP stage and the bar stage. The way it works is usually 2 girls on the main stage, one on the VIP and two behind the bar. I believe they do two song sets but could be three especially on a slower night. Toward the back sides of the club are long bench coaches where table dances happen. An occasional floor man walks by but I never seen anyone have any issues. Dances are $20 a pop and are good contact for the price and it being NYC. Most girls try to upsell you to VIP – they have three levels – something like $685, $1300 and $2000. Somewhere close to that, The only room I saw was the low end room for $685. While you have more privacy, it is a shared room for up to 4 couples. On slow days, there is a chance you get the room alone, but don’t expect too much as the Champagne hostess and the waitress poke there head in every now and then. First, I should say, I go on Sundays because this is a high pressure club, girls are asking you if you want a dance before you are even seated. So, as for the dancers, very hit and miss on Sundays, usually about 25- 30 dancers in the 6- 8 range. On the good weeks, 2 or 3 9’s show up. Funny thing is the good weeks are really good and the rest are the weeks are tough to handle sometimes. Like all the 9’s chatted and decided to come in the same week. It would be nice if they spread it out a bit. Some weeks have plenty of dances and other weeks leave without any. Bar staff and floor men are friendly and for the most part the dancers take no well and just move on. You do have you occasional dancer that wants to give you a hard time about saying no. I did have an interesting experience with a drop dead Russian dancer, pretty close to a 10. I agreed to a dance, went for a table dance and see continued to try to upsell to VIP – I asked for a second song and she agree, but half way through the song she tells me her limit is two table dances if I want more I would have to go to VIP with her. Anyway, this is one of the better clubs in NYC but can get very expensive – drinks are NYC expensive – a water was $11 or $12 and a dancer had a glass of wine and it was $18. It can be fun. One more thing, as usually some of the bar staff and waitresses are the hottest girls in the place. Also, I thought I overheard someone saying you can take them to the VIP room instead of a dancer, but don't quote me on that. But some of them would be worth it.
