The Pussycat Lounge is a strange...

The Pussycat Lounge is a strange place with a strange appeal. Appropriately located downtown-- about 2 blocks south of Ground Zero and a few blocks west of Wall Street-- it is smack-dab in between, a bodega/mart + next door adult store and a sometimes hot hip-hop/latin dance club (Remi Lounge). A parking garage (Battery Parking) is on the block south of it all. Walk in and it's "not your brother's strip club" (maybe your dads). Long bar, chicks dancing, takin' bills. That's it. No dances. Women are 5-8 (with a few 9's). But it has a strange appeal. A boss from London was in town and this was the perfect "safe house" -- not too raunchy but enough nice bodies and beer to keep it fun. If he wanted to step it up a notch, there was New York Dolls, Hustler Club, or Scores... where did Harmony Club and Dangerous Curves go? Why oh why?! :( The pull that made it a little better was the fact that when the girls aren't dancing, they might pull up a stool, eat some food and hangout. Again, no dances... just some cute women and chit-chat... your mileage may vary. With the right chemistry: REAL phone numbers. I could've driven a chick home (she was a town away from me... but boss wanted more bars and more booze). But you have to bring your A-game. Wall Street guys will do much better. (Especially, if you have a 1/32nd share in a summer home in The Hamptons... but it will HAVE to include INDOOR BATHROOM privileges.)
