The rise of Levenson’s club was spectacular, but so was its downfall, brought on by alleged mafia ties, federal criminal charges and the eruption of the ’80s AIDS epidemic.
The wild tale of his reign as the “King of Swing” is being revisited Tuesday at 9 p.m. as part of Vice TV’s “Sex Before the Internet” series, which explores the world of X-rated thrills before the proliferation of online sites such as OnlyFans.
“Plato’s Retreat is part of New York City’s history,” Levenson’s son Michael Levenson, 61, told The Post. “It was where everyone wanted to be.

Is this lunatic gonna push her onto the tracks?It’s a fleeting, ripped-from-the-headlines thrill in what’s otherwise a snooze-fest that mechanically rips off what came before it. Running time: 123 minutes. Rated R (strong bloody violence and language throughout, and brief drug use).Not to mention that this first “Scream” movie to be set in the city is a total waste of NYC. Don’t spend any mental energy trying to figure out what street the characters are running down, what park they’re hiding out in, or what borough it is.

Emily Longeretta Nicolas Cage is a man of many talents. With an Academy Award, a SAG Award and a Golden Globe, the actor has taken on many different genres over the last four decades, which made him the perfect recipient of the Variety Legend & Groundbreaker Award at Miami Film Festival.
