Rick's Cabaret Welcomes Knicks Star Carmelo Anthony With 'Melo Mash' Parties on March 2

 NEW YORK CITY—Rick’s Cabaret gentlemen’s club in Manhattan will roll out the red carpet on March 2 to welcome newly minted New York Knicks basketball superstar Carmelo Anthony to the Big Apple.

“The pre-game “Melo Mash’ party will get rolling at 6 p.m. until tip-off at 7:30 p.m., with no cover and $8 drinks. The after-game festivities start at 9 p.m. and things will really heat up as soon as the game ends,” said Ken Sistrunk, general manager of the club that Playboy says is the best in the city.

“We’re not sure if Melo will drop by, but we’ve let him know that he’s more than welcome," Sistrunk added. “Many Knicks players have been our guests over the years and we want Melo to know he should feel at home since we’re literally right down the street from Madison Square Garden.” The club is located at 50 West 33rd St., just east of Broadway.

Sistrunk says some of the Rick’s Cabaret entertainers will start their dance sets wearing specially tailored No. 7 jerseys, “but they won’t keep them on for long.”

Rick’s Cabaret NYC is part of the publicly traded Rick’s Cabaret International, Inc. (NASDAQ: RICK) group of upscale gentlemen’s clubs. Opened in 2005, the club features three floors of topless entertainment and hospitality, including a first class steak house, private suites, and a VIP floor with a sky box overlooking the main dance floors.
