THINK OF THE CHILDREN!įast-food is the main culprit of child obesity. Nevermind that children that happen to wander into these places are escorted out (just like they get escorted out of these porn shops if they wander in there), the fact that these places exist need to be banned. We need to ban them! THINK OF THE CHILDREN!īars and nightclubs serve alchohol which can lead to drunk driving and addiction. Well, using Pamela's way of thinking, let's ban a few other things:Īutomobile-related accidents have killed many children since it was invented a century ago. "Fleshlights and Fleshjacks half off? You can't find that price anywhere." Everything-except the poppers and pills-are 50% off. Through this weekend, the Unicorn is having a Valentine's Day/closing sale. Les Hommes has been in business since at least 1985, when it weathered the AIDS crisis and the city crackdown on gay sex shops. The shop will be moving their merchandise uptown, to their other store, Les Hommes at 217 West 80th Street.

They failed, but there's nothing you can do when your building's been sold to a new owner who wants you out. In recent years, as Chelsea has hyper-gentrified, the city tried to close The Unicorn, along with the other gay adult shops nearby. The shop itself is clean and well-lit, run by a couple of friendly guys who might engage you in a chat about the changes that have come to Chelsea, how all the gay businesses are being pushed out, forced away from 8th Avenue. It costs $12 to go in through the turnstile and there is decidedly no readmission. In the back is a dimly lit lounge, outfitted with couches and video booths where men linger in the shadows. Walking in, you feel rather furtive, like you've slipped away from the everyday world. It has no neon signs and no rainbow flags, just a purple door topped by a small, faded awning. The Unicorn is like a secret spot, around the corner off 8th Avenue on West 22nd Street. The manager writes that the closure is "due to a huge rent increase." The building was sold and the new owners have other plans for the space. Thanks to reader Albert for pointing us to the news, posted to the shop's Google reviews page.
