••• Remember how Remix had its liquor-license suspended for all those State Liquor Authority violations? According to the New York Post, Remix “was operating as a kinky strip club known as the ‘St. Venus Theater,’ officials said. During a three-hour raid Jan. 21, investigators headed by the NYPD Vice Squad found 18 couples in ‘a make-shift back room cordoned off with curtains and rope partitions with topless and scantily clad females performing lap dances and lewd sexual behavior.'” Pretty much every publication aimed at guys—Esquire, Dealbreaker, Thrillist, et al—has written about the roving St. Venus Theater; my guess is that the NYPD got sick of it flouting the law.
