"...born American in 1977, and was popular in the late 1970s and early 1980s"

So he started management of his club aged 2. Or something? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.237.255.61 (talk) 05:07, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

History

Prior to the Ansonia Hotel, Plato's Retreat operated out of a downtown location in the Gramercy Park area. Dick Kimball (talk) 21:07, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why New York and not Los Angeles?

I find it ironic that the most infamous heterosexual sex club was based in New York and not Los Angeles. Home to a $4 Billion dollar adult film industry, Los Angeles has never had anything even similar to Plato's retreat (that I am aware of) in the cities storied history. The closest would be the Playboy Mansion, but even that was not specifically a "sex club". Just another strange anomaly between these two great cosmopolitan giants.

Actually there was one in LA, in Hollywood. I was there just once, but they had the same facilities and policies described in the article. Probably late 70's or early 80's. -- J.S. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:F540:5560:F884:FEE:B44F:C8EA (talk) 08:38, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Personal Anecdote

I never quite made it to Plato's Retreat. I recall asking my girlfriend at the time whether we could go together. Her answer was, "Yes, but if you lay a finger on me or anyone else, you'll take back a bloody stump."

I hope you dumped her.

This article needs to be edited.

Especially the first paragraph, which reads like a couple of high school boys were bored. 72.193.85.115 (talk) 20:47, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
