No more scoring a lap dance (or anything else) at Scores in NYC if the State Liquor Authority has anything to say about it

Business coming to a grinding halt: Even though many Wall Streeters aren't supposed to be going to strip clubs any longer, at least on the company's dime (most recently, Deutsche Bank),  of course, many still find their ways to such establishments (*wink* *wink*) .  So there may be more than a tear or two shed with the news that both Scores in NY City are likely to be closed down for good because their liquor licences are getting pulled (and what's a strip club with out spirits to loosen up the libido and wallet?).  It seems that at one of the two clubs -- Scores West --  hookers have been making themselves at home with the club owners turning a blind eye.

State Liquor Authority officials plan to   put out of business not only Scores West, but also Scores on the East Side, by   yanking the liquor licenses for the jiggle joints, officials said yesterday.
 
  It's a prospect that could chill the hearts of the mammary meccas' many famous   frolicking fans - who over the years have included Lindsay Lohan, Kate Moss,   Russell Crowe, Queen Latifah and Jim Carrey.
 
  The problem is that each club's liquor license carries the names of the same   two club honchos, Elliot Osher and Richard Goldring. Losing the Scores West   license - which was to be physically confiscated last night - makes both Osher   and Goldring "prohibited persons" under state Alcohol Beverage   Control laws.

"This means we must now begin the process of going after the Scores East license, as the same two principals are on the license," Crowley said.

The strip club empire - which licenses the name Scores to clubs in Las Vegas, New Orleans, Chicago and Baltimore - made a last-ditch attempt to stave off the SLA yesterday in Manhattan federal court, where Scores West has filed for voluntary bankruptcy.

"This business is my sole means of support," Osher, vice president of Scores West, argued in court papers seeking a temporary stay of the revocation. "Without this business, my family will be ruined."
