The Box is the name of the place. You walk into the spot to be welcomed by the really nice hostess that wears a long sequin turquoise gown. The decor is like a small old fashion burlesque theater and they even serve popcorn to the crowd which comes in cube shaped paper bags. We sit. The show starts and "oh boy" was I not ready for what I was about to see. It starts off by a guy dressed in a dog costume and he starts dancing, few minutes later he is taking off his clothes, yep he shows EVERYTHING! We are greated by this beautiful burlesque hostess that starts to present the shows we are about to see. There was the hula hoop dancer, the acrobat that piles up chairs and stand in one hand upside down (very impressive), the topless trapeze girl, and the most shocking a 6'3 trannie that does a number completely naked, and afro girl that takes objects from unexpected places, REALLY!! The Box is not just a place is an experience and I totaly recommend, just be careful if you can't take heavy emotions!
The Box is located at 189 Crystie Street and the shows start at around 1am for more info visit their website http://www.theboxnyc.com/.
