Celebrity Status for Regular, Everyday People
While it’s fifteen minutes of fame date back to 2000 with the go-go anthem “Perfect Gentleman” by Wyclef Jean and Hope, this financial-district mainstay lives on as a strip-club throwback in black granite with fluorescent pink and purple trim. So how much is it gonna cost you to feel the grind of history? A modest coat-check fee, $10 to enter the carousel-shaped lounge, and another $20 if you want a lap dance or a back rub. Services are performed by topless waitresses wearing Playboy-bunny-style shorts and bow ties; entertainment comes courtesy of pole dancers on the stage. Those looking for more than hips swiveling to Jane’s Addiction tend to migrate to the leather couches in the upstairs Champagne room.
