I read about The Stinking Rose in a book called Tender to the Bone. I was enthralled by the stories the author wrote about it as well as the concept of an all garlic restaurant. My mothers always said don’t eat garlic unless everyone else at the table is and you don’t have to worry about it at this restaurant. I passed on the garlic wine but everything else was divine.

Greenwich Village has lots of cute shops but Condomania is one of the best. While some folks prefer to purchase their prophylactics quietly while at the supermarket this store is anything but quiet. While you can in fact purchase condoms for regular use this store is stocked up with more novelty type items. Go with friends for a laugh, with your lover to add some spice or to stock up your private stash. No matter what the reason as my grandma always said -- "Remember, no glove, no love". (No joke . . . she really did tell that to all four grandchildren).

Now that Hellfire is gone and Lenny has moved to Brooklyn, Paddles is really it when it comes to the scene in NYC other than private dungeons. The owner Michael had some issues that lead to the doors being closed for a period but with its reopening there are now lots of display cases with items to purchase nestled amongst the equipment. If you are hungry or thirsty be prepared to shell out $4 for a can of soda at the café located inside. They also offer patrons who have gotten all sweaty cookies, bottled water and other snacks.

Hidden away close to Carnegie Hall in a very nondescript building is where you will find Eve’s Garden. They do have a website but these are the types of items that are often best bought in person. My husband and I went and while the inventory is smaller than the offerings on the web there is lots to see and buy. One saleslady was kind enough to let us know that when purchasing batteries for items we bought there to use the “cheapo” no name kind as the more expensive kind actually drain the motors . . . You learn something new every day ;)

Suffolk finally has a play space – The Venom Club. There is an amazing “lift” piece of equipment and when we were there someone was using it to create a human piñata. Cages line one wall while other equipment is placed around the circumference with a more private room in the back. A large grouping of tables to sit, chat and or watch are usually located in the middle. Members can enter at a discounted rate. Do not be discouraged if you can’t find it at first. The entrance is a bit hidden around in the back of the building.

Toy shops such as these are usually hidden on dark dank streets. They have dim lighting and a questionable clientele. This is not the case at Good Vibrations. After receiving their catalogs for several years, I made a special trip to see the brick and mortar store when I was in CA on business. Everything is out in the open and sales staff are very knowledgeable. From the beginner to the expert this store really has it all including pieces from their Antique Vibrator Museum. If you are not sure about venturing outside to make such purchases they do have a catalog and a website (www.goodvibes.com). All items are mailed and billed discreetly.

Lenny of Hellfire fame left NYC to move by the docks in Brooklyn. The set up has gotten better over time but unfortunately the watchers make their presence so known that it is difficult to go and enjoy yourself. The staff has worked very hard to make a separate space for couples but without posting a guard at the door singles can enter in and out as they please. The place has always had a great potential and while we have not been in a while I understand they have increased the types of refreshments available at the bar.

Excellent Sound & Security has come through for our family more than once. The remote for our car alarm keeps cracking – ok we keep dropping it and they are able to keep fixing it for us very quickly and for a fair price. They are hidden away behind the cemetery on 20th avenue but they are worth the trip if you need anything taken care of with your sound and/or security system.

Berta 67 certainly has it all and they have the prices to match. The selection and quality are most certainly very good but the sticker shock could knock you over. If you need a very nice high end piece such as Lennox or Lladro this store is a local resource but with some hunting and searching you can probably find it for much less.
