Damn the old spot from 103rd is closed. Used to have like 5 ladies outside everything trying to pull men inside. Walked by yesterday and it had the large orange nyc order to close sign up. Rip fei fei

The crazy thing is they keep promoting that most of these Women are sex trafficked. 90% of the AMP ones they showed are completely independent, no pimp no Papa-san nothing. It's all Woman owned and managed from top to bottom!

There is no such thing as woman owned in Chinese massage they are all working for the Chinese mafia which is definitely run by men

I can't say I know how involved the Chinese Mafia is but I pretty sure that's not 100% accurate. Look at how many ladies in Flushing and Manhattan have started up their own shops. Some even make a business of that it self. Start up a shop with the client list that they've collected over the years working all the spas and then when the traffic is enough they sell it to a new owner. Then do it again at a new location. Wash, rinse, repeat. Over and over.

A Mafia wouldn't want their businesses changing hands as often as these places do. That's not to say they aren't operating many of these but the ones that change hands I would have my doubts on and there are many of those around.

Back when the Tongs managed this quality was controlled and the politicians turned a blind eye (because they were paid to look the other way)

If it's YMMV , no man is involved.

That stretch of Roosevelt by Junction is insane thou. You cant even walk thru there with the hookers all lining the store side of the street and the south american food vendors lining the entire curb side.

Underneath the 7 train?

 

[ScottyKing]

Underneath the 7 train?

Well, all of Roosevelt is under the 7 train. The 7 runs up and down above Roosevelt. So yes

The health department needs to focus more on giving ratings to the food trucks and less on the AMPs

I took this pic on 103rd St from the stairway of the El
On a rainy day all the runoff from the tarp with all the birdshit on it runs into that cooler below
If It's a rainy windy day, the runoff is going to hit the food. How bout a little spice in your rice
this is a real health hazard, and they are worried about Amps
They should clean up this mess fast

For what it's worth, most of those stalls have been removed from the plaza including the non-food vendors. A few trucks remain, at least one with an A and I assume the others are ballsy and parked there without a permit. There's a bunch of petitioning going on to bring them back though...

A while ago they closed down the hoe stroll on Queens plaza but let these ones operate with no problem it seems king spa and angelos tend to have the most fit women though

Angelo is the best
