The Diamond Club is a cabaret and restaurant on Hunts Point Avenue in the Bronx — a low brick building that its own photograph shows lit red at night, with a purple-lit doorway.

Its pitch is a straightforward one: a clean setting, a comfortable atmosphere and good service, safe, secure and private, with friendly staff. Couples, it says, are always welcome.

It opens at four in the afternoon Monday to Saturday and at ten in the evening on Sunday, and every night runs to four in the morning.
