The NYTimes reviews a steakhouse inside the Penthouse Strip Club.

Remembering my mission and the dictates of journalistic accuracy, I asked them how to spell their names. Although Indica no doubt deemed the question curious, she was too smooth a pro to let on.
But Brianna seemed rattled.
“Two n’s,” I said, “or one?”
She stared at me blankly.
“I never thought about it,” she confessed. “You know, it’s not my real name.”
I couldn’t have guessed. With a job like this one the learning curve is endless, and it takes you in directions you never expected to go.

Priceless.

It's not a strip club. It's a Gentleman's Club.

Dear Penthouse,

I never thought this would happen to me. One night, my buddies and I decide to go out for a nice steak dinner. Little did we know...

I suppose the salad bar isn't the only thing that's all you can eat.

I've been to Robert's -- the steak is actually fantastic and is up there with Sparks and Del Frisco's. It is a little strange with the strippers around, but they don't bother you if you let it be known that you want to be left alone. The food is expensive, even by NYC steak restaurant standards. It is known in our office as "Bob's Big Boob".

The guy who runs the place also owns an excellent BBQ restaurant around the corner.

Outfreakingstanding!

The guy is just lucky that Pac Man Jones and his posse were not at the joint that night.

The ending is great, as is the part about the 20-dollar shot ("I don't have a receipt").

A good place for a NYC-NJ SportsJournalists.com guys night out? ;D

So if you find a hair in your soup at a strip club restaurant, is that extra super gross? (Insert joke about hair nets here).

Can one obtain potted meat there?

It gives new meaning to the New York Strip
