This item made an appearance in our Daily Links, but we’ll throw it out again: a Paris Burlesque Club was approved by the Public Safety Committee to open at 18 Commerce Street, reports the BK Paper. Apparently the dancers will strip down to bikinis, but the business owner promised no “stripper poles or runways. The venue has previously been a music hall and most recently a dance club named Hello Brooklyn. (It was shut down for selling alcohol without a license.) Despite concern, the Public Safety Committee gave a unanimous thumbs up. The final vote will come at the full board meeting on February 9th. “This will only bring the neighborhood up, said board member Lou Sones. This is as reasonable as an establishment like this can be.

  3. I dunno. Burlesque seems like a strip joint where the women get paid less. I mean, you’re dancing half naked for fully clothed people, what’s the difference if a piece of fabric covers the nip? BTW, where the hell is commerce street?
