HQ is a little off the beaten path on (way) west 38th Street. I lived in the area so it was a convenient...sometimes too convenient...place to go if I was in the mood. It is never all that crowded and often the slowness can affect the vibe...as the girls tend to hang out together in small herds of 3-4 strippers around the edge of the room by the bar. The ones that do come around are generally friendly and fun without being pushy at all. Back room is not cheap and certainly negotiate before you get in there, but it is very private with extras available if you ask around.
