Gourmandise in New York

Gourmandise is New York's backbone: fifteen licensed gentlemen's clubs (table and lap dancing) concentrated in Hell's Kitchen and around Times Square after the 1995 Giuliani zoning, with Queens outposts in Long Island City and Woodhaven and one in the Bronx — joined by six adult burlesque cabarets from the Lower East Side to Bushwick and the Bowery. One venue is a male revue calibrated for bachelorette parties; the rest skew bachelor-friendly.
