but I used to go and enjoyed it.

I still have no clue why people use strip clubs in NYC what with all the other things we have to offer.

Still, if your determined to spend a lot of money on blue balls I recommend Flashdancers. An upscale club without the high prices or food (other than a happy hour buffet). Air laps are 20, but the VIP rooms are only $300/hr (reasonable for NYC) and you can usually get to at least second base there, but YMMV. There are tons of great looking women there. You will not be embarrassed bringing friends or busness associates there.

If you looking for a place that is on the loose side, try the Carousel Club. Average looking women but odds are good (especially during the day when it is not busy) that some extra-curricular activity may happen for about $150 + tip for the bouncer. I would not recommend bringing anybody, unless your clients work in the porn industry.

Avoid Scores, VIP, Privlege and Penthouse; unless your filthy rich, a hip-hop artist or entertianing business clients. Beautiful women but not worth it.

Try Laces...but...

...if you don't want frustration, why bother?  Women are beautiful and some are genuinely nice.  I would think that if you asked a provider for lap dancing (with a little bit more), she would be only too willing to agree...it would cost you less including the drink.  Average cost of a decent strip club is $20-40 entrance fee, $20 per lap dance, $250 for VIP room (which will not occur unless you pay entrance and have a few lap dances)...do the math and you will see it ain't worth it...still, it is fun for a drink or to put you in the mood for an appointment later that night.
