29 Second Ave (formerly on 188 Ave A ), New York Wheelchair: Yes / There are no stairs
The guide
Where exactly
Cross street: Between 2nd and 1st St.
When to go
Doors open 11pmBest times: The first few custommers don't pay cover, then it's 5$, then it's 10$. So usually it's free before midnight. The place gets VERY crowed after 1pm. Dates open: hmm-evenings like maybe 7 on
Etiquette
It is so crowded, everybody rubs against each other. Grab a drink and open conversation with a cute one! Hopefully you'll bring one back to your place. Cruisiest Spots: The whole place is a cruising playground.
Safety
No , no smoking anymore. There used to be some action in the bathroom but now their is an employee checking with a flashlight at every moment. We used to smoke in too, but now they have huge posters saying you'll be kicked out if you do. New York City is getting pretty boring! Warnings: Another cruiser warns us: 'Cops raid the place frequently. They typically show up, march around like stormtroopers, scare everyone off, and then leave.'

Be careful of this place.. it is a laundromat for the Mob!!! The NYC Health Department has deemed this place unsafe. It used to be good years back .. it is a place where HIV roams rampantly and pickpockets and lowlifes hang out to rob you.. BE CAREFUL!

Went here with a friend Friday night 1/23/09. Paid the $10 cover only to find that the basement level was NOT open. The coatcheck guy informed us that it is closed for renovations. Any one know the story? When will it reopen? Info greatly appreciated
