Even though we visited at a time close to early morning, I was able to see some authentic strip dancing, which was great!
Detail
On my way back from the Dominican Republic in July 2025, I had a lot of free time during a layover at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport, so I decided to go out into the city. Unfortunately, the timing wasn't ideal, as I would be arriving in New York around 3 AM.
I searched Google Maps for spots that were open at that time, and discovered a strip club in a place called Long Island, between the airport and Manhattan. headed there by AirTrain and then the subway.
Entering the club
The name of the strip club was โSHOW PALACE.โ Most other strip clubs close at 4PM, but this one was open until 6AM. Most other strip clubs close at 4PM, but this one was open until 6AM.
The security staff at the entrance saw the suitcase I was rolling around and asked, โAre you here to sleep? Can I still come in?โ and they said it was fine.
When I went inside, the security staff asked, โThere aren't many ladies here today, is that okay?โ probably because it was Monday. Well, I had come all the way there, so I replied OK. I paid the entrance fee (credit cards accepted), had the staff look after my suitcase, and entered the floor.

On the floor
The club was quite large and spread over one floor. It was very clean, and didn't have the seedy feel I'd felt at strip clubs in San Francisco. The atmosphere was closer to FKK sauna clubs in Europe.
It was 4am on a Monday morning, so the club was sparsely populated. Still, I think there were about 10 or so ladies there.
A Brooklyn Brewery beer, which is expensive in Japan, was the same price as the other brands at $8, so I ordered that (I thought the prices were reasonable for an American strip club). The bar only accepted cash, so I paid with a $20 bill and got all my change in $1 bills lol (I guess they wanted me to use it as a tip).
Strip dance
While I was sitting at a table drinking beer, the lady walked onto the stage and the strip club dance began. It was pretty professional. She had incredible strength. She received a ton of tips from the local customers.
On the third time, there were no customers between me and the stage, so I went to give her a tip. While dancing, she accepted $3 for her lower body and $2 for her boobs. at her pussy-great service spirit!

After that, I stayed until closing time, and the lady sat next to me, pulled down her bikini top, and flashed me her boobs. I realized, so I tucked the $2 I had in my hand between her chest and said, โThank you!.
About the price
The total bill came to $35, including $20 admission, $8 beer, and a $7 tip for the stripper.
The ladies were just average at the time, but when I changed back into my street clothes, I found some really beautiful ladies. If you come at the right time, it might be a fun spot.
By the way, this club's website advertises itself as โNew York's only all-nude club,โ but when I went, the strip dancing was topless, not nude.
I was planning to stay in New York, USA, just for the duration of my flight layover, but something happened after I left, and I was stranded in New York for about a week.... I'll post a report on that later.
