Subway by Day, Strip Club by Night
It might be a bustling Subway sandwich franchise by day, but after the sun goes down this business is Cousin Vinny’s Little Secret… And what’s Cousin Vinny Agnello’s Little Secret? (Promise not to tell?) According to an entertaining but somewhat baffling post on Gawker, it’s a place where today’s value-oriented consumer can pay just “$50 for six hours of hardcore lap dance action, unlimited fountain soda, and a footlong sandwich of your choice, all in ‘a discrete and totally safe atmosphere to indulge in your carnal fantasies’”According to Gawker, Cousin Vinny’s not too good at keeping secrets:
We’ve been sent a transcribed version of the flier that “Cousin Vinny” Agnello—owner of a stripper service and the self-described “King of Bling featured as a “Celebrity” on the DIGGS WEBSITE” (two Diggs!)— is reportedly passing around the area. Our tipster says the local merchant’s association is…concerned about Cousin Vinny’s new venture.
Gawker includes Vinny’s “full, quirkily awesome invitation” Here’s a taste:
All Nude Private Club!
To whom it may concern:
I would like to proudly announce the opening of my first adult club, COUSIN VINNY’S LITTLE SECRET! This private club located at [REDACTED] in the Bronx, NY is the first of it’s kind. During the day it is an extraordinary “Subway style submarine sandwiche shop” offing the highest quality meats along with the freshly baked bread that you would expect from the offspring of a longtime Subway Restaurant. In fact this was a Subway franchise up until May 2008 when we were disenfranchised due to politics and differences of opinion as far as marketing is concerned.
At 10 PM Wednesday through Saturday this seemingly harmless sub shop becomes the wildly, exotic and explicit, all nude private club “COUSIN VINNY’S LITTLE SECRET”. The club is located in the rear, private area of the restaurant and is strictly PRIVATE! You must pay a one time fee of $20 to become a member. Some of the advantages of membership are the following: unlimited access to the semi private lap dance rooms, 6 hours of non stop, hardcore, live action from some o the most beautiful young ladies who have ever chosen to take their clothes off in public…
Admission is $50. Cousin Vinny advises all patrons to please call for reservations in advance. If you cannot remember the phone number, says Vinny: “Simply call information for the number to the Subway Restaurant on East Tremont Avenue in the Bronx! Hope to see you soon!”
Can’t imagine why Subway would have a problem with Cousin Vinny’s marketing tactics. I don’t think anyone ever paid $50 at the door to see Jared.
