When I lived full-time in NYC I used to go to ESC all the time and have very fun, fond memories of it. Based on those memories, decided to go back and check it out again in Oct 2021. Went on Thursday night (7pm-12mid) and sad to say, it was very different -- extremely quiet, with probably max 15 ppl in the whole place. Despite this, I did my usual bathhouse routine of laying down ass up, dim lights, lubed for any takers. Got fingered once the whole night. I walked around a few times during the lulls and cruised around, most doors were closed/unoccupied. I did find an ass up bottom and went in to fuck him but he was condom-only so I quietly exited the room. Wanna give it another try but am not sure if the club has bounced back fully post-pandemic..? I would have thought that now that WSC is closed and they're the only bathhouse open, it would be rocking like no other place, perhaps I went at the wrong time/day?
Any thoughts or info from anyone who as been to the ESC since in the past year? Advice on best times/days to go? Anywhere else I should check out for bathhouse-type activity in NYC area?
