Well we were in the big...

Well we were in the big apple on business for a few days and decided to check out the local club scene. We hit the famous scores and what a mistake it was. We knew we were in trouble when we went to the front desk and cover was a hefty $ 30.00 per person. After trying to negotiate a better deal with no luck, the hostess tells us that if we eat dinner there the admission is free. We should have gotten the hint right there and just walked back down the street. However, with a few beers in us and thinking with the wrong head we decided to have dinner there. The layout of the club is all about how many ways can they get you to part with your money. The girls do not even get fully nude on stage and the bar is bigger than the stage.

We were seated in the dining area where a lot of the girls were eating also. The menu was actually ok. The prices on some things were high, however there were also some reasonably priced dishes. Avoid the apetizers and the side dishes. They are very expensive and you really don't need them with the generous portions that they give you for your main coarse. I had the free range chicken for $ 24.00. It was an excellent dish with a huge half of chicken and potatoes. As we were waiting for our dinner, which seemed like a very long time, we sucked down a couple of beers. A few russian dancers came over to ask for dances, which we declined. Lap dances out in the open room were $ 20.00 per song. We didn't get one however we watched a few guys get them. Basically they grind on you both front and back for one short song - nothing great. We finished our meal and they brought us the bill. To our suprise we had spent $ 76.00 already. Knowing what we had paid for our food was only about 1/ 2 of that, we couldn't believe it when we saw that the price for a bottle of bud was

$ 9.50 - I guess we should have asked first.
