Interesting Times in NYC Times Square Club

Was back in the Big Apple for work and stumbled across FD midtown which wasn't far from my hotel. It's near the Theater District, which means the neighborhood is teeming with tourists.

Arrived around 8 pm. Paid a $20 cover and $5 (!) coat check. There's a bar along the wall to the right and two small poles across from the bar. There's a second room to the left with a small stage and two additional poles, with some seating around the stage going two deep. Lap Dances are done on the floor, usually in the darker corners, for $20.

Got a Corona for $12 (?) with a tip, only to hear the bartender complain the tip wasn't enough ... not a good sign for an enjoyable evening.
