Gentlemen! Howdy. An old hand at hobbying, but new to the NYC hobby scene, asks for advice. Write me at book_guy "at" yahoo.com if you want (though I'm not able to access VIP mail here at TER currently). Here's the story:

First, you can check to see that I've been a member here at TER before, but it's been a long time since I've posted a review. Sorry, I haven't been "in" the hobbying community for a while, new job, no funds, etc. But at least you can tell I'm on the up and up, and I've been a "presence" at various internet boards for a while now, so I hope my readers feel they can trust me.

Second, I am asking for advice.

I'm gonna be in Manhattan on business for the week after Thanksgiving, but since I'm (a) mostly new to that city's hobbying (although I've visited as an adult before, and lived there as a little kid) and (b) on business and (c) sharing a room or staying with friends, I'd like some advice on how I might succeed at hobbying while there. I basically will only be able to do calls at HER or THEIR rather than MY place, I guess; and will have to keep it to "businesslike" hours to help cover my tracks; and will need to be able to clean up after; etc..

I'm wondering if that scene will be available in NYC (heck, you can buy anything there!) and would want basics, like how much I should expect to pay,  is GF-experience available, which agencies / spas / websites / ladies to consult, what neighborhoods are good stomping grounds, what not to risk, that sort of stuff.

Also, one thing that I personally REALLY like to do is 'scope' the ladies by means of seeing them dancing, and by flirting with them, before I choose one particular provider. I loved the Ontario strip clubs where that was a possibility back when I lived in Toronto (remember Fantasia in Richmond Hill! or Roman's Babies in Welland; and nowadays you'll hear on the internet there's that type of action in some Tampa and Memphis clubs, and of course in San Francisco) -- kind of skanky, but it really adds to the allure for me, providing a type of "hunt" and "chase" before the "catch." And it meant seeing her many assets displayed on stage before having any sunk cost, if ya know what I mean. Is that possible at some / any of the strip clubs or other type places in NYC?

Ideally, I'd like a good set of recommendations for one spa / in-call / massage-plus-benefits experience, and another set of recommendations for one strip-club / scope-plus-benefits experience.

Remember that I'll be limited to public transportation or taxis, to returning to a room on the Upper West Side that is also occupied by a suspicious friend or co-worker in time for a reasonable beddy-bye every night, and although interested in quality experiences, also interested in keeping to a budget.

If anyone has suggestions, or a FAQ or other internet resource to point me to (other than the obvious ones -- the reviews at TER; TUSCL; Eros.com for NYC and upper Jersey; worldsexguide.com), I'd appreciate it. Also, typical pitfalls -- where NOT to hobby, where tourists typically get taken advantage of, how to not appear like an out-of-towner, etc.

Thanks. I'll repay in kind if I can. Post here if you want, or write me an e-. Again, it's book underscore guy @ yahoo dot com (and not at TER VIP mail).

Cheers,

Book Guy
