Downtown den of sin "burlesque club" The Box got a bad rep for supposedly being dirty and oversexed and drug-strewn, but isn't that the point? Well, that point may be moot. Anonymous internet sources say The Box has problems!

An alleged employee of The Box told Down By The Hipster that the club is drastically cutting costs: cutting performers' pay, firing the band and the stagehands, cutting performances, and hiring cheaper doormen and performers. Well, that would make The Box pretty much like every other club in NYC. As long as there are twins left to do sex toy fetish shows, there is hope.
