MEAT MARKET: Vanity Nightclub

By Brett Cihon on May 7, 2011

CLASSY ON 56TH >>>

I bring a date to Vanity nightclub. I know, I know. Bringing a date kind of defeats the purpose of reporting on the hookup scene, right? But I've seen enough of these clubs alone. Every once in a while, papa's got to get some sugar.

Plus, I tell her it's my job to scrutinize the club and its patrons. A free pass for my eyes to wander. The best of both worlds.

I had heard clubs around 56th Street and South Tacoma Way could be rough and tumble, but Vanity doesn't fit this description. It's actually quite classy. My plaid shirt and Vans are no match for the leather boots and silk shirts that crowd the club.
