Have not been to either Tokyo Spa or Zodiak in a while but Tokyo has had older girls who tend to rush you out. Also during meal times the smell of fish can get a little heavy. Not the best value.

Hello,

I went to Best Spa on Broad a few weeks ago. Great place, sorry I do not remember the girls name but it was late night on a Friday. I would rate it as very good, but since i am new at going to AMP's I am not sure how they rate to other AMP's. The shower was great and liked the time in the steam room. The massage was great she even walked on my back a very nice feeling. And after I got a CBJ at 6.

I am planning to go back real soon. I would like to know how to go about asking/ getting AR and DATY.

Thank you :-)

PS there is alway a $10 off coupon in the New Haven Advocate, near the back on the page with mind and body healing.

Surprised to see that GF says Zodiac is now FS. Last time I was there was a couple years ago. I believe there was signage visible from the street, but it did take some time to find the entrance (didn't ask at the restaurant...). Went two times, once was a fairly hot young blond with a clearly limited menu and bored demeanor that left me a bit, um, soft. The other was a plain, short, plump dirty blond who was planning to quit soon to take a job teaching in a local school system. She had a great story about tying up her boyfriend to prevent him from joining in while she got it on with a lesbian friend. The monkey escaped from his cage and got a good spanking that night.

My impression was that these places stayed off LE radar by staying HJ only. Never went back (never found Marlowe's, BTW). My conversation with the ladies led me to believe there was relatively little turnover. Anyone else w/ FS experience at Z's? Might be time for another road trip...

Ahh, thats the rub (pun intended), it's in the alley/driveway.

I'll be damned if I could not find the #190 Main Street though. Switchboard.Com listed about 4 or 5 other businesses with #190, so I figured it was part of a plaza. Someone mentioned being across the street from Stop and SHop, but I dont recall a stop and shop.

I tried Marlowes once, and it was good, but I guess I need the rush of a seedy place or something.

Sorry I intermingled SW's and AMP's in my last post, just created confusion, my bad.

Zodiac is on the ground floor. The door is on the alley (or driveway, whatever) from the street to the big parking lot in back of the stores on that block. No sign except right on the door itself, at least there wasn't when I used to drop in there a couple of times a year about 25 years ago. The staff was not Asian (I think they were mostly Italian) and very, very stable. In fact I dropped in for old time sake maybe 8 years ago and two of the same women were still there! The years hadn't improved them any more than they have improved me. I'm not really surprised to hear that FS might be available, but I never looked for it there, and wouldn't have wanted it.

Sort of like Marlowe's, up the road, but generally shabbier. Zodiac is near the bottom of my list of reasons why I sometimes regret that my job doesn't take me up and down the CT turnpike as much as it used to when I was younger. (But man, I wouldn't mind if the old Tropical Retreat would reopen.)

WOW, the New Haven board is the busiest in Connecticut today, that's one for the record books.

So I'm confused about that SW working the Zodiack, that leads me to believe it's a non-Asian MP (I've never seen an Asian SW in New Haven, otherwise I'd be cruising the stros every night!). Is that right? If that's the case I guess that's one I won't be checking out! I've really been meaning to check out Tokyo Leisure Club again, the woman working told me they did have other younger girls working there.

[Huggy Bear #2]

Thanks for the poop on the location of Zodiac. I swear I drove in and around an Italian restaurant, more than a few times, I must have not seen the sign for the place.

Is it on the 2nd floor of the building? I'll try finding them one more time, and if I cant find it, I'll give it up and consider it a divine intervention.

I have been doing Amp's also, but needed a change. I recently tried my first Escort, it was a nice experience. Never tried a SW, to scared to, but it sounds like an efficient way to get business taken care of.

Once again, thanks for the info, I'll give it another try in the next month...

Didn't they at one time issue you a camera? They used to call
themselfs a "photography" studio. Been there forever. At
least 10+ years ago when I picked up a SW who was working
there. She was going to work, and told me about the "photo"
gimmick. She was FS back then.

[GordonFreeman]

Zodiak is in between a fire station and an italian resteraunt. Very discreet sign. Place is a dump, but it is full service.

[CT Dude]

I've never been to Zodiack, but I went on a recon mission a while back. From what I remember it's across the street from Stop & Shop, basically in the main business district. From what I've read it's HJ only. Supposedly the Tokyo Leisure Club has a fuller menu; I went there a while back but wasn't interested in the overweight granny who was working (I posted more details of that trip here, I think it was back last October). If you want to check that out, it's also across from Stop & Shop, but it's in the back of the building, right next to the firehouse and even more dificult to find than Zodiack. I've asked around about these spots and have never heard anything favorable. Good luck, and please let us know how it works out (though I'm not sure I want to hear a favorable review, a good AMP in New Haven would drain what little is left in my savings account!).

And as long as I'm posting, I'll take the SW question too. I've for the most part moved on from SWs and am strictly AMP these days, but that is mostly due to my newfound preference for Asian chicks (I certainly have nothing against them). But as I'm driving through the old neighborhoods for whatever reason I still tend to keep my eyes open for them (let's call it a sociological experiment). The SW scene in New Haven isn't too thriving, but from what I remember it does pick up as the weather gets warmer. I think it's safe to say that almost any SW you find is gonna be a crackhead. So if you stick to the neighborhoods that sell crack, you might find one. Sometimes you'll even see a relatively cute one, but be prepared to drive around for an hour or two looking. Ferry St between Grand Ave and Chapel St and the surrounding sidestreets could be your best bet, very late at night is probably the most fruitful time. Mostly HSWs in this area. Then Chapel St between the hospital and the boulevard has some decent looking WSWs from time to time, but I wouldn't really count on it. Finding a SW in New Haven really requires patience and a full tank of gas from my experience!

[Huggy Bear #2]

Hey Guys,

I read a post about Zodiac in East Haven, and for reasons unknown, felt the urge to check it out.

It's listed as 190 Main Street, but for the life of me, I could not find it, I drove back and forth about 5 times, it looks like the street numbers go from 168 to 600 (town line change maybe) maybe it was the Gods telling me to save my money.

Anyone have a LandMark for approximately where it is?

[Booty Freak]

Hey guys. I'm from the NYC board. I see that there is not much action in this room. I would like to know if any good things are going on in New Haven. I come up there ever so often for business and I have a few friends out there that are looking for some action. I haven't had a chance to ride around but the winter has been hell. I went to Keystone and Teddies, from what I heard keystone got locked down, has it opened back up yet. let me know. and can somebody give me a report about the SW in the New Haven area thank you booty freak.

EDITOR's NOTE: Posting of this report was delayed pending revisions to capitalize the word "I". To avoid future delays, please use a capital "I" to refer to yourself in future reports. Thanks!

[Bar Guy]

Anyone have any info on Infinate Pleasure from the Advocate. She told me her rates were $$.5 but she was unavailable when I needed her. Was wondering if she was worth that much.

[Member #1398]

Does anyone have any info on Mary or Lisa ? They were latino sisters around 5'3", avrerage body. They used to live near Tale hospital.

[VilunyaChert]

Latest news from Milford. (So they've got a Rev. on their Police Commission? It figures. Damned busybody.)

Devon massage parlor reopens

MILFORD — A Devon massage parlor that has run afoul of the city for years and previously allegedly engaged in illicit activities that resulted in it being closed in May, recently reopened, though city, police, and zoning officials pledge to keep a watchful eye on the establishment.

Zoning Enforcement Officer Linda Stock confirmed Monday that Royal One Spa, at 89 Bridgeport Ave., reopened late last month.

She said the massage parlor now has one masseuse certified with the state and it is licensed by the state to be open.

In May, Stock ordered the business closed because it didn’t have a state-licensed masseuse. At the time, Stock said neighbors had called and complained the establishment was operating and clients were going in and out at all hours. In August 2002, the Royal One spa was closed after police said a masseuse offered an undercover cop sex for money.

The city last year closed down several massage parlors in an attempt to rid the city of the alleged illicit activities that take place there. Businesses closed last year alone were Happiness Spa, 457 Bridgeport Ave., VIP spa, 232 Boston Post Road, and Ginko Beauty Spa, at 554 Boston Post Road for operating without permits.

Stock said Royal One has reopened as a holistic relaxation and massage therapy business. Owner Sik Kim could not be reached for comment. Stock said the business had not paid any fines because it closed.

Stock said she would keep a close eye on the business.

"I told the masseuse if she’s not there when I pop in then they shouldn’t be open," Stock said.

Stock said Ginko Spa remains open and has a licensed masseuse. Stock said VIP Spa is waiting for a licensed masseuse but plans to reopen and Happiness Spa remains closed.

"It’s dead and buried, they are out," Stock said of Happiness Spa. "I’d like to see a business come in there. Something other than what it was, of course."

Ginko Spa Owner Hyon S. Choi of New York filed suit against the city last year, alleging the city wrongfully went after her spa because she is Korean. The city closed the spa because it did not display a tax permit and the facility had inadequate hand-washing facilities.

Stock said she always learns of it, when a massage parlor reopens.

"People call and tell me," she said.

Stock said she has not received any new complaints concerning Royal One.

The Rev. Kenneth Fellenbaum, chairman of the Board of Police Commissioners, said he believes the city’s excellent reputation for being a safe community is likely drawing the wrong type of clientele to the massage parlors.

"Unfortunately, we’re this nice little community off a major thoroughfare between two major cities," Fellenbaum said. "It’s easy on and easy off (highways)."

Fellenbaum said, "Our city, legislative leaders and police department will do whatever they can do to discourage this kind of activity."

Police Capt. Keith Mello said officers would continue to monitor the spas to ensure the businesses operate within the law.

"We expect all business establishments in the city of Milford to comply with all our codes, regulations, ordinances, and state statutes," said Mayor James Richetelli Jr. "All of our code enforcement and enforcement agencies in the city will continue to regulate and monitor all establishments for compliance of the law."
