Visiting the Museum of Sex in NYC

Whilst hosting visitors in town last weekend, we had a chance to re-visit the always provocative and fascinating Museum of Sex at 27^th Street and 5^th Avenue in Manhattan. The museum, which will celebrate its 10^tt anniversary in October, is better than ever.  

The Museum of Sex recently expanded to four floors and added a small basement bar. The current exhibits include the permanent collection, Sex and The Moving Image, The Sex Lives of Animals (particularly captivating!), F*ck Art – the street art exhibition, and Universe of Desire which studies the impact of ”Desire has gone viral.” That exhibit includes a big wall dedicated to exploring the Top 100 sex-related internet search terms. 

 

Also, there are about five events a month at the museum that covers a wide array of sex related topics. If you’ve been always curious to visit but never made the time, we highly recommend. The exhibitions are masterfully curated and the entire experience is as informative as it is entertaining. Just kind of what a museum should be, right?

Adult Admission Tickets are $17.50, but an online 20% off coupon for discount tickets to the Museum of Sex can can be found at http://www.smartsave.com/museum-of-sex.

Final Itinerary for The Salute To The W Line

Below is a fine, detailed and well spelled list of where we will be and when on Saturday, May 30th...


1:00 PM – Whitehall Street Stop – Ulysses Bar – 95 Pearl Street. We’ll begin the Big Adventure at a great downtown pub. Spacious and Historic, Ulysses is best known for their drink specials, great food and raw bar (which is great because there is nothing Brooke loves more than uncooked fish) Brave the meandering downtown corridors and walk straight up either Pearl or Stone street.

We’ll then trek through Washington Square Park for a bevy of events that may or may not be happening. Free Street Fairs, events and such are tricky like that.

3:30 PM – Union Square Stop– Max Brenner’s – 841 Broadway. Get ready to enjoy some of the finest confections in New York as prepared by the legendary “Chocolate By The Bald Man” at the Israeli chocolatier’s largest US Location.

5:00 PM – 28^th Street Stop – Museum of Sex – 253 Fifth Avenue at 27^th Street. Current exhibits include The Sex Lives of Animals, Sex and The Moving Images, The Sex Lives of Robots (?!) and more. And….the filter for all of your work interneting just sent this whole e-mail right to your IT administration team.

7:15 PM – Broadway Stop (Astoria) – Break– 32-04

Broadway at 32^nd Street (upstairs). More than just a Pool Hall, it’s a large pool hall with never ending drink specials, an excellent pub menu, cheap billiards and, of course, The Inaugural Brooke and Phil Air Hockey Tournament! No Holds Barred! Winner Takes All!

9:30 PM – Ditmars Stop – Bohemian Beer Hall Garden– 2919 24th Avenue at 29^th Street. It all culminates here. Voted again and again, one of the best bars in New York City. Most of you have a great Beer Garden story. If you don’t yet, join us, grab a seat on picnic bench, a stein of Czech beer and prepare to enjoy.
