New strip club brandishes tallest dancing pole in NYC

Vivid Cabaret in New York City has introduced a 7.6-meter pole in a strip club, more than twice as tall as other stripper poles in the city, NY Daily News said Wednesday.

“It’s sturdy enough and long enough to do all the tricks I know,” said Vivid Cabaret dancer Carlie, 22. “There are a lot of clubs, but the poles are never big enough to do all the tricks I’ve learned.”

The club had its “soft opening” this week, with an official G-string cutting on Jan. 29 ― timed to the opening of “Super Bowl Boulevard,” the NFL’s strip of Broadway from 34th to 47th Sts.

The football fan fest has the Lombardi Trophy ― but given the cabaret’s location at W. 37th St. and Sixth Ave., it’s likely many football fans will mosey in for a gander at another piece of metallic eye candy: the lengthy rod running from the ceiling to floor.

Vivid Cabaret manager Shaun Kevlin says a number of professional athletes have already reserved tables for Super Bowl game day, Feb. 2.

The new club is a partnership between Rick’s Cabaret, a national chain of strip clubs listed on NASDAQ, and Vivid Entertainment, a major player in adult-film production.

Vivid brings more than a long staff to the partnership: Thanks to its main business, there will be a steady stream of porn stars a-twirl on that mega-pole, including Tera Patrick on opening night.

Lest eyes wander to the game, Vivid Cabaret dancer Evelyn vows to bring them back to the steel shaft in the center of the room.

“I don’t really have a favorite team," she says, "but if any team wins, I’ll take my dress off.”
