From the MeTa: "If you go through the thread and click on the links for the Lux Lounge, it's a sometime-strip joint, with soft-core ads, in Brighton Beach (a Russian mafia stronghold)--that they were asked to show up at, last minute after other jobs "fell through", at midnight, from Washington DC. This has so many red flags it's a marching color guard."
- byrneseyeview 16y agoin Brighton Beach (a Russian mafia stronghold) I know what this person is trying to say, but just to be clear, Brighton Beach is not full of mafiosi or criminals. It's like the rest of New York, except: 1. Rent is lower. 2. There are more Russians. 3. "Bathhouse" does not imply gay. I wouldn't want a friend getting into the situation as described, but "It's in Brighton Beach!" is not high on the list of reasons why.

I still see a lot of locals who refuse to acknowledge the problem. Not knowing much about Brighton Beach, it's hard for me to know whether you're right or just don't have first hand knowledge.
