So I've never been to a strip club and I want to go to one out of the curiosity of never going to one. I work near Flashdancers downtown. Anyway are there any particular ones anyone recommends? If I do go I want to keep it under $300 but still have a decent enough time.

Don't have any specific ones because NYC is a waste of time. Topless only. Go to Jersey.

Tips:
  • Most places have a two drink minimum, so there's no drinking water or soda. Girls will ask you to buy them a drink. Keep track of how much you're spending because the drinks will eat into your budget quickly. Close your tab after each drink. Girls will run it up.
  • Taking your phone out can lead to you getting thrown out regardless of what it's for. The bouncers are there to protect the girls even if they're scamming you.
  • Like the spas, only bring cash with you. New York strip clubs are notorious for taking cards and blowing up the balances or outright theft. ATM fees are criminal there.
  • The private dances are going to drain your pockets quickly as you'll be taken to the private VIP area.
  • If you don't tip, you're creating a problem for yourself. You're not there for drinks to see titties for free.
  • Dress how you want to be treated.
  • Go in with no expectations and plenty of cash (the bulk being $1s).

Since the pandemic I’ve only been to Rick’s on 33rd St.

$20 per dance, which lasts about 3 minutes, the length of a song. I started going these clubs 20 years ago, and it’s still $20. Weird.

After work, around 6 PM, there can be about a dozen girls there. The quality varies widely. I’ve seen 10s at such clubs, 2s and everything in between.

Girls often push for the private room. Don’t go. It costs hundreds of bucks, and there’s no fs. Escorts make more sense for that.

At some clubs they require you to buy a drink. Is there any touching in the main room? Depends on the girl.

The $15 prix fixe lunch looks like a sweet deal!
That's actually true, remarkably. Though post-pandemic they took off the chicken sandwich which was the only option I actually liked. But it's an absolute shitload of food for that money, so if you want to fuel up for, say, a triathlon, go for it.

You’re all talking about Rick’s? I’ve been to that place like 30 times, and never ordered anything besides Sprite, and only because I was pressured into it. Maybe I SHOULD have ordered more.

I get that. Food in strip clubs is usually an e-coli invitation. But that Rick's lunch special is a shocker.

Cosign all this, and Rick's. Rick's is the best Manhattan club I think in terms of vibe and being able to relax. The other ones have hot girls but not nearly as relaxing or welcoming.

A rejoinder to another poster - NYC is actually not topless only. Show Palace is right over the bridge in LIC and is a really cool, atmospheric full nude place. The girls are generally pretty hot. The quirk is full nude means no liquor, because this city is fucking weird with their outmoded laws.

So either Rick's or Show Palace. Go to both, imo. And if you like your experience, get a crew together and go to Pumps for some wild Suicide Girl shit.

What’s the deal with Pumps ? I’ve never been. Lap dancing? Private rooms? My understanding is that it’s a lot of Alt-girl East Village types there- which is probably more to my taste since they are probably less pumped full of silicone. I pretty much stopped going to strip clubs in the last 10 years because I wasn’t into all the fakeness

It is exactly like that. NYC LES Suicide Girl, biker bar vibe. Lots of charismatic dancers, real diverse body types, although this is the one place you'll see them hire girls who are slim all over - small tits, small booty, tats. I wouldn't recommend for your first place, because from my experience it can be an intimidating space at first. But definitely a good time with the right people with you or energy

Thanks. I’m assuming lap dances are available?
Also, I like a lot of different body types, so I could be into a slender girl who looks good

I’ve been to Pumps a few years ago, and agree with most of what’s been said above. Plays out more like a go-go bar than the usual nyc strip club. I got lapdances there too and it seemed like each girl negotiated her own rates for per dance so it’s a very YMMV situation.

Show Palace in Queens, its pricey but worth it. The girls are fully nude and will let you touch them no problems. They host events there. Place usually has a decent mix women. It'll mostly be Latinas though. There are plenty of black and white women about. If you're lucky there will be one or two Asian women there. They also serve food there and are open late and into the morning.

Do you know how much is admission and for a private dance?
