The Box, New York

Just like LEH, I went to the Box, ordered one bottle of champagne, at a quoted a price of $75, and was given a bill at the end of the night for over $2000 for the one bottle of champagne. I discussed the matter with the waitress and then with the manager to no avail. Now other action is going to have to be taken to resolve this problem. If you want to go to the box, be careful, do not provide your credit card up front because they can then charge whatever they want despite what they tell you they are going to charge. Good luck

Beware of criminal fraud - Absolute Horror - Avoid at all costs.
This venue overcharged our tab, adding a completely fictional cost of $2000.00 to our bill. In addition to this insult, they attempted to show us a fraudulent menu that misrepresented the charges to which we agreed.
We happily paid the $100 per person cover charge, as well as the exorbitant $225 per bottle for 3 bottles of recent vintage Moet and Chandon champagne. But when our bill arrived, it was well over $2500 dollars, far beyond either the cover charge or the price per bottle to which we agreed and to which the menu referenced. '
We argued with the waitress, who brought us a fraudulent menu pricing the Moet champagne at $600 per bottle. The menu that every person in our three-person party had examined earlier previously stated $250 per bottle.
We don't necessarily mind overpaying for champagne and cover charge for a clearly inferior cabaret show if it is presented in a trendy venue, but an attempt by the venue to blatently con its customers out of $2000 is far beyond the realm of even the most unscrupulous nightclub business practices. I will be filing a police report against the venue, and caution all potential customers to examine their tab closely.
The show was poor, far too short and the perfromers did not exhibit much talent. But all of its shortcomings could have been overlooked if it practiced an honest, legal business. But it doesn't, and I am happy to state as much in a court of law. Beware fraudulent menus and pricing, demand that the price you agree to be the price you pay, and avoid the venue entirely if you want a pleasant and problem-free night out.

Went with my BF for my birthday - upfront we did not do the late night kiddo show --- we went with adults for the dinner show.

Treated like gold.

Doorman did the whole red velvet rope to keep us outside until opening time - which was nice everyone going in talked a bit. He was fine - I dont look to a doorman to be my buddy.

The hostest was sweet as can be - settled us into our own private romantic box upstairs (lovely lesbian couple in the booth next to us on a date - and a bachlorette party in the next booth).

The dancers came up and performed in our box at one point.
Food was very tasty and served on funky mismatched plates.
Dinner was well paced - flaming drinks were fun.

Show was great - esp the male singing/dancing group from Harlem - who could not have been nicer after the show.

MC is a hoot.

Really 100% a great very unique experience.

I have a feeling they do not kiss butt at this place --- thus the hate messages. Sure it is CRAZY expensive at night after the dinner show --- but if you can not afford a place - why go ??? You are not the target market --- not your crowd. I was very happy to spend $300 for dinner and the show - as opposed to $1000 to see the show later with drunk people. ENJOY

So if this evil dude Gans is a pedophile why would you not report such a horrible person, this is serious and if you don't you are just as evil as he is.
Sleep Well!

Just so you know, the doorman (Gans) whom everyone below seems to be complaining about is actually an Albanian pedophile with a felony record and a history of molesting young boys. --------------------------- Luckily for you, though, he also is known for having a fondness for eating his own feces. So, in case you're interested, i.e., desperate enough to actually want to go to this Bridge & Tunnel club which was cool about 10 months ago but has definitely jumped the shark, here's a tip as to how to get into the doorman's good graces: dress up in a poopy diaper and ask him to lick the fecal matter off of your butt. Then, for good measure, throw in an offer to give him an old-fashioned rim job the way his crack-whore of a mother used to "back in the old country," and you'll be all good. Hope that helps. ---------- p.s. all kidding aside, the guy actually is a convicted pedophile , so please do think twice about spending your money at this LAME joint

Late Show: The host at the door was extremely RUDE!! They scan you up and down, make you wait outside even if you have a reservation. Unprofessional, and very (@$* Staff! Been there before for a early show - Show itself was alright - something different. However the interior is disgusting, old smelly furniture and way over priced for such garbage performances. You come ready to have a good time, pay thousands for an over rated experience and yet they treat you like a second class citizen. If you have respect for yourself, save your self the time and money by NOT going to "thebox" .
