Boring

I was a frequent visiter of the Paterson clubs around Market St and Main St, Moonlight, Baby Dolls and Cabaret. Yes those clubs are seedy and provide no ambiance but I don't go there for that. These clubs have all been closed since the start of Covid. Prior to Covid they where a spot for older Latinas and Black women to strut their stuff past their prime. They all had private booths that allowed you to to whatever you wanted and take out was always available. Prices were around $100 for 15-20 minutes of whatever you wanted.

So I decided to go to Paterson and see for m myself what was going on. Baby Dolls and Cabaret were still closed but Moonlight opened the day before. For those who don't know, Moonlight is a small club with stools at the bar and three private dance booths. The club is old and in bad shape prior to Covid. The new Moonlight is much different. They layout is mostly the same with new counter tops. The big big big difference is they removed the private dance booths which was a huge disappointment. Instead they put three tables in the area instead. On this Saturday night that I visited they only had two girls working. They were both 30 year old Latinas but I would rank them about 3 or 4's. Even though they used to have much older women working before, occasionally there were some 8 or 9' that were in there 40's. Anyway there are no more private dances. Take is still available if they have enough girls working on a particular night. The Corona was either $4 or 5$, I can't remember if the $5 included a dollar tip. One of the girls came around and explained that all they can basically do is play with you and your seat. BORING!!!. I tipped here $2 and went over to 5th Ave where the club is much like Moonlight used to be except 5th Ave has the ugliest older women I have ever seen. I will pass by in another two weeks and see if things have improved.
