Pretty Good Time in Manhattan

Now that things are starting to open up again in New York, it's worth noting that this is still one of the very few clubs that is open before 5PM. You will pay a $20 cover/ bag check fee if you enter in the evening, but before 4PM there is no cover (you will be required to check your bag for $10). You will also have to provide proof of vaccination as with all clubs in NYC, but a picture will suffice. However, if you go in the early afternoon, you won't have nearly as many options and there may not even be any dancers on stage. In the early afternoon, there are usually about 4 or 5 girls working, with anywhere from 10-20 working evenings depending on the day. As other reviewers have stated, the club is quite comfortable, and I would describe it as almost cozy. It's a two-floor club separated by a winding spiral staircase, with the bottom floor housing the stage and a small side-area for lap dances, and the upper floor housing semi-private rooms (with curtains), a cigar lounge an outdoor deck, and VIP private lounges. The VIP prices I was quoted were $400 for a half-hour and $700 for a full hour, but it sometimes depends on who is on duty and what time of day it is, from what I understand. I have never partaken of the full VIP options in this club, since you aren't even guaranteed extras, though my understanding is that extras can and do happen here. Normal dances on the floor are $20 per song, and currently there is also an option for 3 songs (around 15 minutes) for $100 in the semi-private rooms (which generally allow for much more contact than in the public area, where you really can't do much of any touching in this club).

As for the dancers, there tends to be a mix of voluptuous Latina women and African American women working here, with a smattering of American and Asian girls, and a lot of much slimmer, younger but less busty girls working the day shift. To me, most of the girls are in the 7-8 range, with a couple of 9s in the evenings and the occasional 6 working the day shift. This club is owned by the same people that run Rick's and Hoops, and I think most of their Eastern European squad works at either of those clubs.

Personally, I find this club to be a nice place to chill and have drinks (their drink prices are surprisingly less outrageous than most other NYC clubs, with most in the $12-15 dollar range). The $100 semi-private option isn't bad if you find the right girl for a make-out session and a little fun. Mileage is definitely extremely variable at this club, as I have had some refuse anything more than an air dance even at that price, with others much more open to hand roaming and kissing. Also, if a girl here asks if you want to "party," she always means the white, of which I personally don't partake, but since many girls here seem to indulge in that, it's possible your mileage would go further if you had some to share, although I personally can't attest to that. As is the case with most clubs in Manhattan proper, this club is overpriced, but not as much so as some of the other options in the city, and it makes for a decent Friday night with the boys. All-in-all, not bad for Manhattan. I'd give it a 7/10, and it's definitely starting to pick up again a little more now that the regular lap dances are back and you don't have wear a mask inside.
