You don't have to go home, but you can't get a lap dance here.
Scores will be shuttered after nearly 20 years of boobs, booze, busts, and good times.
Company officials say the Manhattan jiggle joint Scores is shutting down before the end of the year after surviving FBI raids and ex-Mayor Rudy Giuliani's crusade against smut.
The New York-based clubs were a favorite of celebrities like Howard Stern, Russell Crowe, and Madonna, as well as thousands of drunken businessmen. At its peak, the West 27th location would gross approximately $400,000 a night according to the Daily News. The Scores in the shadow of the Queensboro Bridge will remain open under new ownership "but it won't be Scores," co-owner Elliot Osher told the News.
The closing was blamed on a weak economy and the possibility that the club could lose its liquor license. State authorities revoked the liquor license for a spinoff version of the club on Manhattan's West Side after a police raid led to prostitution charges against several dancers.
Scores first opened its doors on East 60th Street in 1991. A series of club spinoffs opened around the country, but many have since closed.
