Manhattan can be ok if you have cash to burn and can behave like an adult

The layout is still the same as when this used to be Flashdancers. Descend to basement level and turn right. There will be a girl to your right collecting a $20 admission, unless you remember your host’s name from your last visit, in which case, drop the name and they’ll waive the fee.

There’s a big rectangular bar straight ahead. As you approach, and enter the main room, the MainStage and a small side stage will be to your right. Coat check and bathroom to the left.

I grabbed a seat at the bar and had some cocktails ($20 each). The girls are friendly without being too pushy. Mostly Eastern Europeans with work done, a few Latinas and one black girl. I was approached regularly until finally the girl I wanted came by. We had a few dances (also $20).
