Babeland

You’re all revved up on the sweet nectar of java, and you need something to do with all that energy. Boy, do we have the place for you. Enter Babeland, New York’s super-adorable, feminist answer to the shady sex shop. At this friendly sex-toy boutique—run by women and skewed toward women—browsers are encouraged to handle all manner of buzzing, wriggling and bendable playthings, including the famed Rabbit Pearl vibrator. The shop also stocks a huge variety of condoms and hosts frank sex-ed classes on a variety of subjects.  If there were ever a thing as a twee sex shop, this would be it. (The friendly staff won’t mind if you giggle when you’re inside, but they’d much rather try to educate you on their many—and we mean many—products.)
