I see them while walking by. I know there are a whole bunch of gay clubs, I know there are some strip joints, I know the Bum Bum Bar is around, but does anyone have experience going in them. Speak on it, please.

It's funny... I grew up in the area and would never go in such establishments because they seem so Tijuana-ish. But I know this random white guy who I met through a friend, and he swears by these places. He goes in to pick up Latin women. And he never had a problem. Drinks are cheap. Music is good. Seems like a good time. I will go one day.

I've researched these places but never went in. From what I have been told they copy the "ficha bar" routine often found in Latin America. They have a few ladies there who will dance with you or chat while she drinks her "ficha" drink. Usually her drink is at an inflated cost and comes in a little glass or mini beer.

Someone mentioned Tijuana. Have you been ? I can assure you that Tijuana is WAY MORE FUN than what you will find on Roosevelt Ave.

The entire Roosevelt Ave is to bring immigrants a little slice of home here in America. That's not to say they wouldn;t welcome an outsider but they aren't there for the average gringo.

With that said I'd be interested to know the prices from someone that has been to these places. I also believe that "situations" can be had in such environments if you play your cards right but I wouldn't be surprised if the NYPD has these places on their radar. There is no reason to believe that they wouldn't.

I have been once to a couple bars in Jackson Heights...and I would not go back. Why? Well when I am the tallest person in the room, it's a problem (I'm 5'7)...these places feel like being in a small mexican/south american town..if that's not your thing..then Roosevelt ave (in general) is not for you. I will say if I lived in the area it would be great to at least have some amenities/bars around....and it definitely suits the neighborhood..but I am not paying a $15 toll across the Triboro for it.

I wonder if prostitution is still rampant on the ave as it was in the 80's-early 2000's

Out of curiosity, when people talk about prostitution on Roosevelt, are they basically talking about the whole stretch starting at 48th Street? Because I've heard that the worst parts are further up in Corona, and the eastern part of Jackson Heights, but I didn't think it went all the way down into Woodside.
