From the Queens Courier:
Residents are worried that an uncovered bid for an Astoria bikini bar may be a scantily-clad plan to wiggle a strip club into their neighborhood.
Racks, the club located at 19-26 Steinway Street, was recently leased to a company called 8G Inc. Formerly a billiard parlor, the establishment sits just half a block from homes, several hundred feet from a park and two blocks away from a school.
8G Inc. sought to obtain a liquor license, which was voted against unanimously by Community Board 1 in early September. District Manager Lucille Hartmann attributed the board’s decision to the establishment’s inability to benefit the community. Racks’ fate will be decided by the New York State Liquor Authority, advised by recommendations made by the community.
Assemblymember Aravella Simotas, who lives three blocks from Racks, said the neighborhood is an absolutely inappropriate place for a skin-based business.
Simotas, whose campaign against Racks garnered support from Congressmember Joe Crowley and Senator Michael Gianaris, said she remains confident the State Liquor Authority will consider their side and heed their warning.

That end of Steinway is an industrial wasteland. There are far worse places for a strip club to pop up.
Of course Rep Joe Crowley showed up to investigate those RACKS!
Speaking of racks, wouldn't mind seeing that Assemblywoman in a bikini.
What's wrong with T&A?
Astoria should learn to absorb their fair share
of T&A establishments along with the rest of us.
I liked it much better in the old days, when
the west Times Square area was the porn capitol
of NYC.
What an attraction that was!
Soldiers, sailors, doctors, lawyers and Indian chiefs flocked there to see the "big uns"!
But since the yuppies have taken over Hell's Kitchen,
the T&A was pushed into Queens.
Our borough is the biggest dumping ground
for Manhattan's most unwanted.
It's only natural that it should be so.
For it's only a stone's throw away...
and Brooklyn won't have none of it!
So ya wanna put the kaybash on it?
Feature Shulman and Stavisky as a sister act!
That would put the frost on anyone's weenie for good!
Only because its near her house - all politics in western Queens centers around the pols.
Go to 30th Avenue or Broadway and see the antics that disturb neighbors.
No pols live there. Therefor everything is hunky-dory.
NOT Mike and Harrys style.
Too many Girls.
The second post above mine is 100% right, totally nailed it on the head!! Not to mention we already have two of these places here already that the pols seem to have forgotten about...
It's very effortless to find out any topic on web as compared to textbooks, as I found this article at this web site.
