Safari Lodge and the eXile
[QUOTE=Jake993;2257551]Gosh how I do miss Safari Lodge. I walked by a few months ago and almost shed a tear. It was the very definition of a lap dancing club. << heavy sigh.[/QUOTE]That's where I spent the evening of 9/11. I felt like if the world was ending, this is where I wanted to be. And you're right about the lap-dances. Back in the day they were fully nude and 100 rubles, but not every dancer was a working girl. It was a great hang. I used to go there with one of the guys from the eXile. As an aside, I feel a little sad for how much shit those guys are still taking for the writing they did. That newspaper and book was legendary. And their club and restaurant reviews were totally spot-on.
