LaRouge is ok, but nothing like the original Lido

I was a frequenter of the old Lido club when their locations changed and they really seemed like an underground club. When all of the girls were really GND types and when you could really click with the girls and get great dances, with high mileage and DFK.

I relocated out of NYC two years ago, but was back in town and had time to visit their new location at the old Penthouse club. Trekked over to the west side on Wednesday night, got there at 9:30, so the cover was only $20 and I got a free lapdance ticket, so that was a bonus. There were probably about 12 girls working, they ranged from a couple of 6's to a couple of 9's. There were a couple of girl next door types, sprinkled in with the more typical eastern european stripper types. All were very attractive.

I got a rum and coke for $20 ($18 + tip). Was approached by a couple of girls, who did not do the usual strip club approach of "want a dance". These girls actually tried to start up a conversation, which I chalk up to Lido management training of these girls. Which is nice to see that at least they are still trying. Decided to get a dance from an all american type brunette, I forget her name, but she said she was from long island. The dance was pretty good, decent grind, hands were allowed to roam freely, everywhere except the kitty. Got two dances from her, she hit me up for a tip, so I gave her a $10. Girls at the original Lido, never asked for tips, so that kind of killed it for me.
