Look, every December the adult industry does the same song and dance about “giving back,” but most of it is pure PR bullshit. Not at Vivid Cabaret New York. These girls actually stack toys higher than their 28-foot stripper pole every damn year, and the U.S. Marines roll in to collect like it’s the real North Pole.
This isn’t some half-assed tip-jar charity either—the place turns into legit toy central until December 9th.
Strippers with Hearts (and Insane Bodies) Run the Best Toys for Tots Drop in NYC
Let’s be real: nothing says holiday spirit quite like walking into a midtown palace of tits and ass carrying a bag of Barbie dolls and Lego sets. The contrast alone is worth the trip.
The girls at Vivid aren’t just posing for Instagram likes. They’re hustling every VIP who walks through the door to bring something unwrapped for the kids. And yeah, when a 5’10” brunette in a Santa hat and nothing else is grinding on your lap begging for a toy… suddenly you remember that Target run you were gonna do anyway.
What You Need to Know Before You Show Up
- Toys must be new and unwrapped (Marines gotta inspect them)
- Drop-off deadline: December 9th
- Address: 61 West 37th Street, right in the heart of Manhattan
- Yes, the 28-foot pole is still the tallest in NYC—girls climb the damn thing like it’s nothing
- Roof deck cigar lounge is open if you need to “cool off” after
The Girls Are Already Talking Shit (In the Best Way)
“We’ve got the tallest stripper pole, and we want to have the tallest array of toys for the Marines to pick up. It’s such a great thing to do.”
– Kristina, Vivid Cabaret dancer
“Come bring a toy, flex, have some fun, and make it rain.”
– Vivian, obviously not shy
Translation: Bring gifts, get lap dances from girls who actually give a damn, and feel zero guilt about where your money’s going after.
Why Vivid Cabaret Still Runs the Gentlemen’s Club Game in 2025
Sister club to the legendary Rick’s Cabaret NYC, Vivid keeps the energy filthy but classy. Pro athletes and Wall Street ballers hide out in the Ultra Lounge while rookies blow stacks on the main floor. The balcony overlooking the stage? Pure chaos on a good night.
And right now that same balcony is probably stacked with teddy bears and Hot Wheels because these dancers refuse to half-ass the charity thing.
Every major gentlemen’s club chain does Toys for Tots drives, but Vivid girls treat it like a competition—who can get the most toys, who can convince the biggest whale to buy the entire toy aisle at FAO Schwarz. It’s savage and sweet at the same time.
Bottom Line
If you’re anywhere near Manhattan before December 9th, grab a couple toys, throw on something decent, and hit Vivid Cabaret. Worst case you get a lap dance from a smoking-hot chick who’s genuinely stoked you showed up with gifts for kids. Best case the Marines catch you making it rain while surrounded by more toys than Santa’s workshop.
Either way, you leave looking like a hero instead of just another horny tourist. That’s the Vivid Cabaret toy drive magic.
See you there.
(And yeah, the official Toys for Tots program has been running since 1947—respect where it’s due.)
