I went to the original Lucky Cheng's in college (10 years ago) on 1st Ave & 6th St (I believe that was the intersection) and I really wanted to take a friend to see the show. It was spur of the moment so I made a reservation at 8pm for the 10pm show for 3 people at this new 48th street location.
Got there at exactly 10pm from dinner and we were greeted by a long-ish line, as expected. Reservations and non-reservations were in the same line, so expect that. I had confirmation of a reservation on my phone and email but the hostess didn't have my name. Regardless, they were more than willing to accommodate us and seated us in the middle table, which was AWESOME.
We had front row seats to the show and saw the queens up close. I was nowhere near as close to the queens the last time I went. I will say that the old location felt more intimate but this location was well spaced out and at first glance, I thought we were squished together but I had ample room.
The service was excellent. Since we had just ate, we asked if we had to order from the prix fixe menu and our server, Sister Mary Helen (amazing singer btw), said that we could two drink minimum and $25 show fee. This came out to less than eating and paying for drinks. The bartenders are working very hard to make drinks for everyone. I got the orgy bowl of the pink pussy and it was delicious and STRONG. Definitely could taste the vodka.
Paulina was the hostess and she was EVERYTHINGGGGG. So nice of her to take a pic with us after the show. The other girls, Detox, Ivy, Sister Mary Helen, all of them were great. I was laughing the entire time. And the game show was awesome. We made friends with the people at our table.
Gentlemen - if you go, you'll probably be a target for the queens to dance on you, and some of them are raunchy so if that isn't your scene, you may want to avoid it. But I absolutely loved every second of it. Definitely want to go
