  • Stopped in last night around 11:00 p.m. Not too busy, but managed to get some action through the gloryhole. The metal plates are there but have been swung to the side for your pleasure. Wonder what was up with that?

  • Went today and found all the slots and glory holes covered with metal plates. Apparently they've decided to turn away from the men who supported them ... too bad.
    No longer a gay booth store.

  • On a visit Friday afternoon, I heard one of the attendants in a conversation with one of the customers that he was friendly with mentioning that the store was likely closing soon due to the poor economy. I can�t really see how they are suffering since they take many dollars from the machine when they empty out the $ of the day, and considering that the 3 minutes that they claim to give you on each $ seems to get shorter each time that I do play or observe the machines (some times it is really boring at these places and you can�t help but keep track of the time, and 3 minutes is becoming 2 minutes on each $).
    They claim that they have been getting many violations recently from the city and considering how dirty the places have been, rarely cleaned or mopped up after much usage, they do deserve the fines that they get from the potential health hazards.
    Whether it�s a �crackdown� or just a passing phase, many of these places are becoming extinct and are disappearing from out city!
    (PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PLACE IS LISTED TWICE @ 725 VIDEO & VIDEO VIDEO)

  • Saturday a guy in the next booth was drinking from a bottle in a brown paper bag and smoking crack (I didn't think anybody still smoked crack), not to mention talking to himself, and Sunday some obnoxious old drunk was going around bothering everybody rambling on outloud - very loud, sticking his hand thru and pulling on the doors. I finally asked the attendant to throw the bum out so the rest of us could get have a good time.

  • I'm not sure that the place has been taken over by hustlers and pickpockets...I do, however try to avoid the rectangular gloryholes...they invite trouble...but the action's pretty steady...

  • Hustlers and drug addicts hanging there now. Seems like the hustlers and pickpockets are about to ruin another good cruise place in NYC.

  • Been seeing an increase in the druggies and hustlers here. I hope this isn't the beginning of the end of this place.

  • I was here last night around midnight and it was fairly busy. I noticed that there are now gloryholes on the right-side booths. Great move...now I can double my chances of playing. I'm going to try and stop by tonight.
