New York in the dark

The (feeble) response here to the Parthenon post compared to the Hang where somebody reposted the thread confirmed something I already suspected, MF is much more NY centric than the Buzz.

For me this was the most significant dungeon I used and this is unlikely to change in the future. I have not been to a domination house in the last 20 years, and this is not likely to change either. Parthenon was the premier place to meet indies in NY, and I am not sure what else is left there.

Does anybody know of other similar places still open in the city?

MF just also be more Berlin centric since the closing of Studio Avalon got mentioned there with several replies. There's nothing here.

I posted the Avalon post over at Max Fisch and then commented on the Parthenon post over there. I'm here too, but not as active. This board I always saw as an offshoot/copycat board that sprung up when it seemed that Max Fisch would go under. When it didn't, I think some people stayed there. I know there are some people who are over here who aren't at Max Fisch, but it never felt that this board build up much of a head of steam on its own.

I actually assumed you, Komodo, were the same person as Comodus, who posted this news at Max Fisch.

As for NY, I don't think there's much that you wouldn't know about in terms of public-facing places. There's Pandora's, Donatella Den and, if it's still operating, Fetish Fortress. They are all houses. I don't think there's another large, active collective/space for independents like Parthenon. It was unique in that way. There are some people who have smaller play spaces and maybe they share or rent them out. I don't know. But of the ones who are public about it, Mistress Troy Orleans has a space, as does Mistress Troy. And there is the La Maison du Rouge space of Lucy Sweetkill and Dia Dynasty. Mistress Natalie has a space. I think there are probably a few others that are more private/below-the-radar. One of them, which apparently is now closed, I visited earlier this year. I was surprised to learn of it as it was the private space of a domme who had been mostly retired, I thought.

The Fetish Fortress is open and operating

Thank you for the reply. The way I became Comodus was when the computer I used as Komodo at MF died and the MF administration was not able to let me recover the account using the email.

There is a lot of double representation on these two boards but there are differences too, especially on the dommes side. We are at a point where structural changes happen, and the traditional ways for BDSM partners to find each other also took a hit. I think it pays now to let go of perceived rivalries and make the most of the remaining resources left, like these two forums.

I would add to your list private places used by mistress Chloe and mistress Veronica, but it has been a while, and I am not sure they still exist, especially the second.

Agreed regarding making the most of all the resources that exist. And, yes, Mistress Chloe's place -- I should have remembered that.

Yeah MF is way more NY oriented than this place.
