Cape Town – According to The New York Post the New York City Playboy club will reopen its doors, three decades after the original club closed its doors in Manhattan.

The club will have a lounge, restaurant, game room and the Bunnies will be wearing updated outfits.

The new club will open at the end of 2017 in a hotel a few blocks from Times Square.

Scratching around in the archives we stumbled upon some old pics from the original New York City Playboy Club.
