    Default Updated info on Ricks Caberet

    Hello girls.. I have already done my searches on this clubs and would like some updated info from someone who works there. I went there in January and it looked pretty busy even though many of the girls were saying that it was slow. Anyway now that Lonnie from Scores is doing their publicity I think things will be looking up!! If anyone has any info (house fees etc) please PM me or reply to this post.

    Thanks!

    If you can't get hired at PEC or Hustler then definitely try Rick's.

    ooh, this makes me very happy for the new Rick's in Philly.

    P.S. I heard from a reliable source that Rick's is buying out Scores.

    Is that generally considered a good thing, management-wise? I know they've been promoting the hell out of it on Howard Stern, so there's bound to be a big initial boost, at least.

    And what makes you think I can't get hired at Huster? I can get hired at Hustler one of my girls is tight with Chris and he met me before and said if I ever wanted to come out of retirement, I should come there (I have a sick work ethic, he complains to many of the girls there leave early and do not approach customers). Anyway for personal reasons I don't want to go to that club (to many eyes will be on me). So I'm choosing the next best thing, in my eyes a clubs that is up and coming.

    Interesting.

    When I first started working at Rick's, the owner said that he intended to make the NYC location his flagship club. Two and a half years later, NYC club goers still have no idea where the damn place is! They have never heard of it, dunno anything about it, and only recognize what the hell I'm talking about when I say "the old Paradise Club..."

    Maybe this new advertising thing will pay off, but who knows if Rick's will ever be able to rank up there with Scores, PEC, and Hustler.

    That being said, the management there was and still is some of the very best I have ever encountered. The fees were and are very reasonable. And the dayshift, oddly enough, is money.

    I don't work there (I'm not really gown club material) but the girls that do, like it enough to stay there. So it can't be too bad, right?

    Yes, you might PREFER to work at Rick's and they've left themselves plenty of room to move up. With Lonny's contacts and know-how, business should pick up.

    Does anyone know about the expected mileage at any of these clubs (PEC, Hustler, Scores, Ricks)? I am trying to do some research before a trip, and all the reviews seem outdated....

    Also, if anyone has any info on fees for these clubs, please pm me. Much appreciated!

    It varies. Extras are available, in the VIP, at ALL the clubs you cite with certain dancers for certain custies IF the price is right.

    Eric.... who are you? You make yourself out to be the NYC club expert of SW. I've always wondered where you get your info from and how you can be so certain of it.

    I'm tired of posting my mini-bio and spelling out my bona fides.
    A number of members have found out first hand that I KNOW what I'm talking about.

    Btw, you're not seriously contending that extras are NOT available at PEC, Scores, Hustler & Rick's ; are you ?

    Really? Well I'm not tired of reading it. Maybe cuz I never have. Perhaps you can start getting tired of linking it... or PMing it.

    I'm not saying that extras aren't available. I am, however, surprised that some dude keeps giving out info on NYC clubs like he is the utmost authority.

    This is stripperweb, and we have a right to know.

    You have a "right to know" WHAT ? Who my sources are ? No you don't.
    My personal info ? Nope. Only what I choose to give out. Just like everyone else on this board.

    Snippy... snippy...

    Your *giggle* sources aren't of any interest to me. It's not like I'm asking you to *snicker* name names. I am certain even if you spilled your guts about these clandestine contacts I wouldn't know who you were talking about anyway. I would like to know (and I don't think I'm the only one but I'll only speak for myself) how you are so sure of everything you profess.

    Are you a customer? A club owner? A DJ? What is your affiliation with strip clubs?

    No quite... you see. I am a stripper. When I post info about clubs it is implied that I either a) worked there, b) know someone who is dancing there, c) know a member of the staff and trust their information, or d) have heard from other girls that have worked there and trust their information.

    You on the other hand say "Scores this, Scores that!" and then follow up by saying you hadn't been there in years.



    Soooo.... why the heck are you getting so defensive ?

    ^ good point, Sophia.... I DO appreciate your input, Eric, but please don't be offended when we (dancers) are more likely to value the opinion of other dancers. That is the MAIN perspective we are looking for when we come to stripperweb.... And I'm not at all saying that your opinions are not valuable, but.... well, we (read: me) can't just assume that you are going to have the greatest authority unless you state your affiliation w/ the industry. If you don't , some will just assume that you are a customer who might not have the most useful info.

    The dancer pov is certainly very important and were I a dancer, I would definitely put more credence in what a dancer had to say than a custie. Guess who MOST of MY sources are ? DANCERS !

    I'm a semi-regular at Hustler and know a fair number of dancers there and some of the security guys.
    I've been to Rick's twice since it became "Rick's". When it was Paradise, I was not impressed. It has potential. They have a BIG corporation behind them and Lonnie was GREAT hire.
    I stop in at PEC once in a while though not as often as I used to; primarily because MOST of the people I knew there have moved over to Hustler.
    I hate Scores. My last source left there a few weeks ago. I haven't been there personally in over 2 years ( and that was because I was being PAID to be there ) and have no plans or desire to go back. Nonetheless I haven't heard anything to the effect that they've cleaned up the VIP's. Not the extras. Not the drugs.

    Some encouraging news. Strictly my ( can't possibly know anything because I'm "just a custie" ) pov. BUT this place is definitely on the way up. It still has a good way to go to catch up to PEC and Hustler but they're getting a crowd including a few adventerous female custies. That's generally a good sign for a Manhattan strip club. Back in the day, Scores used to get female custies and PEC still does.
    For some reason, Hustler does not afaik.

    *gag me* Female custies? A good sign?

    I was there the first few months... and there were female customers (usually part of larger groups) but 50% didn't spend and the other 50% were wanna be strippers checking the place out.

    No thank you. Why on earth is that a good thing?

    I said it was 'encouraging" because it means the place is DRAWING and is likely
    to do well. If you look at clubs in NYC that get female custies they tend to do well.
    It's an indicator that the place has some "class".
    Scores used to get them.( I don't know about currently.) PEC still does.

    Rick's recently had a crew of Penthouse Pets chowing down and hanging out.
    Why they went there instead of PEC, I don't know. Hanover made sure it made
    Page Six. Afaic, he still has a long way to go to make the place competitive with PEC and Hustler but he seems to be headed in the right direction.

    All I know for sure is that when I stopped in last Sat. there had a been a BIG
    improvement since my last visit. For whatever pittance some of you might think it's worth.

    What I was gonna say. Eric is a long-time self-professed authority on NYC area clubs but it's obvious his credentials are severely lacking. Sometimes I wish (and I bet I'm not the only one) he'd heed that message on the main forum page that says this section is for dancers.

    My assessment would probably be better than yours, since I have worked for the Rick's chain and you are still just a customer
