FIFTY ON FRIDAY RETURNS – VILLAGE VOICE FEB 24, 1974

BySpicy Goldman

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…

FIFTY ON FRIDAY – CHRISTMAS EVE 1971 – NYC

BySpicy Goldman

It’s a fairly light set of ads this week, perhaps the theatre managers knew that the folks who would be venturing out over the Christmas weekend were going to do that regardless of what was playing, so why waste the advertising dough. But we do get to see our old friend Capri Sam! In any…

GUYS & DOLLS NYC – SOMETHING TO WRITE HOME ABOUT

BySpicy Goldman

Last week on one of the NYC FB groups we lurk around in someone asked if anyone remembered a strip club from the mid-late 1970s called Guys & Dolls. Well Uncle Spicy threw a couple of the research marmosets loose in the archive and they very quickly came back with not only validation that such…

FIFTY ON FRIDAYS – JUNE 18, 1971 – NY Times

BySpicy Goldman

Once again we’re back in NYC, and we have a rather big surprise in our line up: an Andy Milligan play! Yes, at the Jewel Theater we had Milligan’s SECTION 8, which may or may not have been a semi-autobiographical story about his time in the military, and his eventual ousting from it. The script…

NEW YORK ADULT ENTERTAINMENT GUIDE Vol 1 Num 1 – 1984

BySpicy Goldman

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…

FIFTY ON FRIDAYS – January 15, 1971 – NEW YORK CITY

BySpicy Goldman

This week we’re back in New York City (surprise, surprise) and it seems to be a rather slim-pickings week, at least based on the ads (perhaps this is an indication that hotter stuff was being shown but not yet advertised). As always, enjoy.

FIFTY ON FRIDAYS – December 4, 1979 – NY DAILY NEWS

BySpicy Goldman

Today’s edition of Fifty on Fridays we go back to New York City on December 4, 1970, which was a rather warm (for December in NY) 50 F, so I would bet the Christmas shopping was in full swing, and the tired and frustrated husbands might be sneaking away from an hours long marathon spree…

VINTAGE AD – 250 BOOK CENTER/G&A BOOKS (NYC)

BySpicy Goldman

Another vintage television advertisement which aired during an episode of Emerald City, a gay-oriented TV show which ran in New York City from 1976 to 1979. 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,…
