Completely Disgusting – I use to go the The Box a lot in the past and unfortunately the show has completely gone down the drain. Not at all entertaining but now repulsing. They are completely going for shock value and its frankly just disgusting. My service was horrible to say the least and it was just poorly run from the moment we walked through the door. I do not recommend going there on a full stomach or if you want to get lucky that night.

A little Bit Of Everthing – I was taken to the box by a trio of strippers that my wife and I met on a dinner cruse to see the fourth of july fireworks.

Not a place for the timid! – By far one of the coolest places in the city. Once you get inside, the place is straight out of a movie. The staff is extremely nice and hospitable(they even pass out popcorn!). The crowd is a nice mix of different types of people of all ages. The show was a crazy. I have never seen such a show before and never will again. This place rocks with originality. Love it.

Astounding acts--and prices--at Simon Hammerstein's freak show of a dinner theater. – In Short This intimate, intoxicating theater is a two-story collage of lush fabrics, fringes, chandeliers, feathers and curtains, and the colorful stage production recalls the Folies Bergere of 1920s Paris. Marveling the modern-day audiences are forgotten turn-of-the-century virtuoso acts--fire-eaters, knife-throwers, contortionists--accompanied, of course, by lovely little helpers in pasties. Those seated on the main floor become the playt... read more

Beautiful interiors and great shows. – Good vibe...good service. Muy expensivo though. Enjoy the late night 3am show, if you can get in. The balcony can't be reached to view the show by the way unless you have a booth there.

The box – yeah this palce gets packed, packed with celebrities, like lenny kravitz, mick jagger, lindsey lohan, scarlette johnassen, & some famous bands. I can't believe this is working in the neighborhood but I love it (when they let me in!)
