Rick’s Cabaret New York ushered in Independence Day with a festive celebration that blended patriotic pride with high-energy entertainment, drawing in crowds for an all-night spectacle at the upscale midtown Manhattan venue.

The multi-level club, located at 50 West 33rd Street, steps from Madison Square Garden, hosted more than 100 performers for its Fourth of July bash. Dancers donned — and quickly shed — red, white, and blue ensembles, celebrating America’s freedoms with spirited stage performances and themed festivities throughout the night.

“We love this country and all the freedoms we have,” said Rick’s performer, Fiona. “I love that I can express myself, and I love to dance and make people happy. It’s thrilling when the guys make it rain on us.”

Rick’s girl Monica added, “Nobody throws a party better than Rick’s Cabaret New York. The champagne was flowing, and there were sexy girls everywhere. Life, liberty, and happiness,  that’s us!”

Guests enjoyed patriotic specialty cocktails and a dessert display crafted by chef Jayson Margulies of Rick’s Steakhouse, located on the club’s second floor. The highlight was a flag-shaped dessert that quickly became the centerpiece for partygoers throughout the evening.

In addition to nightly entertainment, Rick’s Cabaret features a rooftop Cigar Lounge, private VIP suites, luxury skyboxes, and a late-night dining menu served until 3 a.m. The venue is operated by RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc., a publicly traded company listed on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol RICK.
