I miss the Harmony Burlesque Theater in NYC. That was the craziest place ever. Picture a basement full of leather lounge chairs and big naugahide barcaloungers filled with little old men in raincoats and business attire. Then fill the room with dirty old fat streetwalkers from the depths of lower NY. Mix in a few junkie whitegirls who got fired from every joint in the city and you would have the harmony. The stage was just a wooden 4x8 unfinished riser in the middle of the room with a single lightbulb hanging from a wire overhead. Around that on all sides like a boxing ring was all the chairs. The women would sit on your lap and lift their long skirts to cover the action. Then over by the back corner there was a group of wall grinders getting handjobs and such. No security, no floor walkers, no marked exits or real lighting.
There was a second location of this joint over in Chelsea, but it had a proper stage and only one row of old man chairs. The extras there were not easy becuase it was well lit and too open.

If any of you remember The Market Street Cinema back rooms a few years ago, this place was about 10 steps down in class from there! Cappuchino from MSC would have been just about average looking at the Harmony.
Then that prick Guilliani got involved.
