You like party? Have some silly and salacious fun with an Eastern-European accent at St. Petersburg Nights' Neo-Burlesque Night. The dining and entertainment establishment has hosted Borat parties, belly dancers, Russian buffet dinners and all sorts of kitschy and ethnic fun stuff. Described as a "PG-13 show," the night includes chorus girl, strip-tease and comedic dance acts. Burlesque troupes Scarlett Vendetta and Meow Factor perform along with dancers from Hip Expressions. Eastern European fare will be served, and you can smoke a hookah afterward. Or take a swig of some Russian wines or get a henna tattoo from Raihan. The venue is equipped with a spacious dance floor and a professional sound system — and what we can only imagine are lovely ladies and friendly men with open shirts and hearts. Show starts at 8 p.m. $10; $15-all you can eat Eastern-European buffet (seating reserved for diners) at 7 p.m. Reservations strongly recommended. St. Petersburg Nights is at 6800 Sunset Way, St. Pete Beach. 727-363-3832.
