Museum of Sex
Fondle the world’s finest RealDolls or see Donald Duck with a hard-on in MoSex’s newly spiced-up permanent collection. 233 Fifth Ave at 27th St (212-689-6337, museumofsex.com). $13.50–$14.50.
Angels and Kings
Emo fans can drown their perceived sorrows in $2 Trump vodka at this rocker lounge, co-owned by Fall Out Boy’s eyeliner-adorned Pete Wentz. The theme is bad-boy decadence, with lavish chandeliers and mug shots of Johnny Cash and James Brown. 500 E 11th St between Aves A and B (212-254-4090, angelsandkings.com)
The Poetry Brothel
This interactive performance series transforms a gallery into a literary cathouse, where male and female “poetry whores” provide private readings behind closed curtains. Jonathan Shorr Gallery, 109 Crosby St at Prince St (212-334-1199, jonathanshorrgallery.com). Admission varies, but usually $10.
Rawhide
The tone at this leather bar is set with a pool table, Tom of Finland prints and wooden rails for striking those come-hither poses. Go-go men—not boys—entertain nightly, and because Rawhide opens at noon most days, it draws the hard-core revelers. Sissy boys in designer duds are tolerated…barely. 212 Eighth Ave at 21st St (212-242-9332). No cover.
Big Easy
It’s a debauchery mecca where dudes chug pitchers of domestic brew—served by busty bartenders—while screaming for their favored sports teams on flat-screen TVs. Blood-red walls, beer signage and piercing music foster a Jägermeister-powered grindfest. 1768 Second Ave between 92nd and 93rd Sts (212-348-0897, bigeasynyc.com). No cover.
