This is a great thread with lots of good suggestions...I'm going to throw out another...Canada, specifically Montreal and Quebec City, both easy and quick flights from New York and great destinations to visit in their own right. Prostitution is more or less accepted there, and in both cities there are reputable agencies that will deliver girls to your hotel room. The women are attractive, normal, fun to talk to. Cost is usually around 180/hour. Way better than the crapshoot in most American cities. I realize this isn't nearly the crazy bargains and wild times in the DR or Asian cities, but it's another destination to consider, particularly if you are also interested in a pleasant long weekend after a ninety minute flight. There are other websites where independents advertise, but steer clear of those. Usually a catfish situation.
