What's your 'Desir' ?


"
Before Moulin Rouge, before Folies Bergere, there was DESIR, the jewel of Paris...".

Down at Spiegeltent at the South Street Seaport in New York City, is a glittering and sexy show for the lusty patron. It is a dark and glamorous exhibition of burlesque, trapeze, vaudeville in retro-glam carnival glory. Last year, the same group presented show La Vie and Absinthe to much fanfare. This is a terrific show to put you in the mood, take a date, or meet a new lover. The setting, in a velvet draped tent gives a very intimate ambience, so canoodling is much-encouraged. Tickets are $59, but with the Courtesan's favors, you can purchase them for $25 via Goldstar.com
