Vintage ad for the Big Top Theater, which played during the New York City based Emerald City show on July 2, 1977. The Big Top Theater was part of the same conglomeration of adult establishment on the corner of Broadway and 49th Street, which included the New World Theatre, the Circus Cinema, a burlesk joint upstairs, and The Video Shack, with the Kitty Kat, Mardi Gras, and Pussycat Theatres across the street.

LABOR DAY NYC 1970 – ANOTHER PLACE ANOTHER TIME
Today, September 7, 2020, is Labor Day in the United States, and fifty years ago September 7, 1970, just happened to also a Labor Day. Late summer of 1970 was just at the turning point towards full hardcore for adult films, and this was just beginning to penetrate NYC at this point (no pun intended,…

This ad for the 250 Book Center (250 W 42nd Street) and G&A Books (251 W 42nd Street) came from Episode 31, 1977. Apologies for the poor audio quality,…
NEW YORK ADULT ENTERTAINMENT GUIDE Vol 1 Num 1 – 1984
The following is a scanned copy (visuals and text transcript) of the NEW YORK ADULT ENTERTAINMENT GUIDE, Volume 1 Number 1 from 1984. This is a fascinating time-capsule of the seedier side of New York City (mainly Manhattan, and typically mainly Mid-Town) in the decade before the Big Mouse started sniffing around town. I don’t…

It’s been hard to believe that it’s been almost two full years since we’ve done a FIFTY ON FRIDAYS post. We initially thought we may have lost one or two in the hacking episode we’re still recovering from [1], but after further review of our files it turns out the last time we did one…
