New York City- In the quest for Flynt world domination, the Big Apple has been chosen as the next target. According to the N.Y. Post, Larry Flynt is close to opening an upscale Hustler Club on Manhattan’s West Side, which could become the next hangout for athletes and celebrities.

As The Post first reported, the club was being built on the site of the former Stingray Club on 51st St. next to the West Side Highway. The new building backs onto an old carriage horse stable that was purchased as part of the original deal.

The porn king’s plans had been shrouded in secrecy while the club was under construction, but this week neon signs went up touting Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club.

The Big Apple venture is the latest for Flynt, who opened a similar club in Beverly Hills in December and has venues in San Francisco, Paris and New Orleans.

The city venture is sponsored by a Connecticut businessman. Flynt did not return calls for comment placed through his attorney.
