The city has filed a lawsuit to close TemptationsNYC, a venue accused of operating as a brothel above a police bar in the Financial District. The establishment openly promotes itself on Instagram, claiming to cater to specific fantasies. Law enforcement conducted undercover operations that allegedly uncovered illegal alcohol sales and prostitution. The venue's operator disputes these claims, citing a misunderstanding regarding the business's activities and comparing them to a rented space for events. The city's legal action aims to curb activities that negatively impact community quality of life.
"Businesses allowing prostitution and the illegal sale and consumption of alcohol on their premises should be on notice that the City will take aggressive legal action."
"We don't sell alcohol and there's no prostitution. That's not a part of the swinger lifestyle," said the operator of the venue who identifies as Johnny.
