About this club
This is a swinger club in Midtown East, on the East Side of Manhattan, and it runs as a private, members-only couples lifestyle club for swingers. It keeps a fixed address in the neighborhood, and a disco, a dance floor and playrooms make up its rooms.
A night here is built around the disco and the dance floor, with the playrooms open to the members who have come in. The club is BYOB, so members bring their own drink. Couples arrive together, and the evening moves between dancing and the rooms set aside for it. Adult guests meet each other by mutual consent, under the club's own rules, and nothing is arranged for anyone.
The door is strict and simple. The club admits approved couples and invited single women aged 21 and over. Single men are never admitted. There are no guests and no walk-ins, so everyone inside has been approved or invited in advance. The dress code asks guests to dress to impress: men wear a dress shirt, women wear high heels. T-shirts, shorts, hats, sneakers, work boots, sweat suits, sandals and flip-flops are refused at the door.
Reaching the club means contacting it first. It takes inquiries by phone and through its own website, and a place is arranged that way rather than at the door, so the first step is to get in touch and be approved.
This swinger club in New York suits couples who want a private, members-only room in Midtown East and are happy to dress properly for it. It suits women who have been invited and are coming on their own terms. It does not suit single men, casual walk-ins or anyone hoping to turn up without approval.
