Lily wants 100-120 tip.

 

[themandalorian99]

Sounds like a good time.

Lily wants 100-120 tip.

She as almost priced herself out of my market. At a house fee of $45 and a tip of $120. That is about the same as the spas in Passaic, Paterson, Newark or Edgewater. Why get on the path and go into the city, and walk all the way up to CT. Then you have to take the path home. You can get a hot girl in the Garden state. However in a sick way, She is worth it. Older woman, good massage, and everything after that is good. She is worth it.

Darn. Hope she looks good.

 

[Plat122]

She is older but looks very good. Her service is excellent. It was better for me at 98 Mott prices. That made the trip worth it.

 

[Evans12]

Lily isn’t cheap anymore but her service is great if you like an older woman.

It seems recommended tips across the board have gone up in CT. Or maybe just for non asian customers. Has anyone else notes this? I had some lame experiences recently near canal eldridge e broadway. I like the vibe of the rundown places in some way. A nostalgic nod to times of yore. It's truly another world I like to explore. But last few visits to new to me places well reviewed here first looked at me like I was crazy for even knocking the door. Then once in and flipped offered HR on top of house fee for .6 (?) $ (cb) which to me seems high. I always thought CT was 4/6/8 maybe a bit more. Menus was limited but I read somewhere many CT joints strictly RT? Granted recommended providers was not at any of these places when I visited. I lived years in asia so I know the culture of everything bargain and will push to get highest dollar so some of it may be "start high go low" but then there's a negative vibe when u feel like u gave someone less than what they expect and that's a vibe killer. Maybe I'm just out of touch. Seems like expectation is changing but service isn't matching: if your putting your face in a towel that's been washed five thousand times and is knotty and rough and there's no shower (or only offered to asian clients) and the carpets run down and stinks and u can barely squeeze into a curtained room w walls that don't go all the way up... Well u get the idea why do u think your price point should be on par w uptown spas when ur not offering the same experience. Sometimes I get the feeling there's two prices one asian one white, are these older asian cats really paying $.1 for a rub (.5 hf +) anyone have any insight? Trying to decode the CT scene.

You’re probably right. I always thought that myself. But with the 6th floor of 98 Mott I always tipped more than some, not too much. Vibe of the place may be meh but service is usually above good, and so ya getta massage too

 

[Lovemyspa]

It took time for me to get the ABC rate and I am sure I not getting the same rate as the mainlanders

In Chinatown the rate is between $ to $.2 for about one hour . 6th floor Mott maybe 80 if your are a regular.
I see some guys paying like $.5 + and I can not believe it. If I was paying $.5+ in Chinatown I would save up a little more and go to a KMP.
If you are a Mainlander you would get a lower price

 

[Evans12]

Joyce is happy getting 145 total but she’s not that attractive and never shuts up as Lily wants another lousy 20 but gives a great hour for 165.If you looking for someone in their thirties this isn’t the place for you.

 

[Rustman]

Right. Few price tiers tribal basis also open for barter it's get what you can/ what ppl r willing. I got quote for extras not FS $1.4 (includes hf so basically $) and I just know that's not what locals pay there's no way. Flip side is some prices I see ppl think as normal I know ppl paid same less and provider happy. But u don't want to speak it and then ppl feel bad and provider might not like it. Does $.2 include hf?

 

[Rustman]

That was east broadway spots

I been paying $80 to $100 for years now. The $150 you quoted are the famous lily and Lucy at 98M but a rule of thumb is never over pay as I know some people are getting special service so they tip a little more. But let’s keep it blow $120 at most places for the regular service.

I agree with you but if an extra 20-25
is going make a provider happy and guarantee a wonderful experience why haggle.

I can agree with that but for Lucy and Lilly on the 3rd floor on Mott street $150 for those savage conditions is a bridge to far for me. Both are attractive and both provide good service but pissing in a bucket then having you wash your hands and cock over that same buck is pushing the limit. Lilly at Grand Elegant is a attractive lady and provides good service. However, no TS and not the best conditions either. It is better than 98 Mott 6th with the dick washing sinks but still that is not saying much. If you add a few extra Jackson you could go to mid-town. I try and keep it in prospective.

I agree with your analogy and why I never go to 98 Mott.

I'd been tipping CT .6 to $ on top of hf for good service and besides and occasional eye roll or pout getting by with it. Then I got these whacko quotes at some new places ($ for cb, .7 hj only, with hf on top , run down places and I'm saying ?? this normal now?) and trying to figure out what going on. Maybe cost "creep" as hobbying gets popular and more easily pushed customers afraid to not give up few extra 20s. I can see on here the range varies. I'm cheap so to me 3 or 4 duckets is significant.
