Mostly lives up to the hype

First off, I’m not a regular in the NYC market, but found myself here on a business trip with enough cash to match my curiosity for an evening. The club is located off 45th St and 8th Ave, and I’m not sure if that’s considered Hell’s Kitchen or Midtown. Regardless, the surrounding area seemed pretty vibrant on a Thursday evening with a number of touristy places embedded within the local spots. Upon paying the $20 cover and entering, there was a bar on the right side with a dancer working. I walked through looking for a more open area with a stage, but reached the back wall where the bathrooms are. Upon doubling back, I found a small entrance to a much larger room with a central stage with two dancers working, surrounding tables and chairs, and booths partially surrounding the perimeter. I took a seat at the booth towards the edge of the room next to the door where the dancers come and go. There were maybe 15-20 girls working at this time (~9:30pm). Some of the dancers were wearing dresses and intermingling with patrons, and others were walking around in their lingerie. Definitely a step up from the Phoenix market in terms of the looks and overall class/elegance of the dancers (on par with Spearmint Rhino or other such clubs), and I would say just about everyone I saw was an 8/10 or above and almost entirely spinners.

After making eye contact with a dancer on stage I liked, she came over and introduced herself as Natalia. She was very ethnically ambiguous and I would have believed she was anything from Wasian to Hispanic. Turns out she was half-Finish, half-Nigerian (go figure). After exchanging pleasantries, I got four floor dances from her at $20/song. The dances weren’t particularly high mileage, especially compared to some of the shit holes I frequent in the Arizona market, but her body was a work of art. Soft ass, nice curves, natural A’s, girl was an absolute dime and the dances were enjoyable. After she finished, she hung around and chatted for around an hour. I almost felt bad because other patrons were starting to come in, and it was fairly clear that I was not a big spender, but she was really down-to-earth and I enjoyed the conversation. Towards the end of my visit, she asked for my phone number and said she’d hit me up next time she’s in AZ. I ended up getting another four dances towards the end, as this newfound rapport granted me more mileage compared to the initial stint. I left around 11pm, happy with my experience. I did not try out the VIP, but I heard from one of the girls that there are two different sets of private rooms, one starting at $1k+ and the other at $2k+. That is obviously rather egregious to an Arizonan mind, but clearly there are plenty of bankers/finance bros who are willing to pay such exorbitant prices. Fortunately, the girls did not try to upsell the VIP in my limited experience and seemed content performing dances on the floor. There is one weird rule on the floor where girls must have one foot touching the ground at all times. Not sure why that’s a thing, but it doesn’t really limit what’s possible on the floor enough for me to make it an issue. Overall, the vibe was classy, but laid back enough for the experience to be pleasant, and accentuated by the attractiveness of the dancers.
