Tweens Shop Coming to 456 Bergen
456 Bergen is one of the last stores on the block of carefully curated storefronts by Pintchik Hardware. It was going to become furniture store called Grandma’s Attic, but then it never opened.

456 Bergen is one of the last stores on the block of carefully curated storefronts by Pintchik Hardware. It was going to become furniture store called Grandma’s Attic, but then it never opened. We were pretty excited when the For Rent sign disappeared, but after talking with someone working for Pintchik we found out it’s going to be a clothing store for “tweens.” She wasn’t sure of an opening date, but she guessed around September.

I go to Bark at least once a week. And I walked by last night at midnight and was going to stop in, but there wasn’t a single seat available.

My husband and I go quite often actually. Their dogs are so delicious (though they make a bang up cheeseburger as well) and they do a great milkshake. Sure it is more expensive than a dirty water street dog, but the quality is something entirely different.
“tweens” stores are a total waste. $120 t-shirts for kids that are going to grow out of them in two months? there was one on atlantic by bond called Trixie & Tilda. gone in a year. bad idea for a bad economy.
of course, perhaps the person who buys the $120 t-shirt is already on that block buying a $7 hotdog at Bark. did you ever go to Bark? i mean, more than once?
ironically, Pintchik’s is now the only affordable store on that block.
Alex Rodriguez could have used one of those this past week.
I’m sorry, but I busted out laughing at “overpriced organic dildos”
It is kinda mostly lezzy lovey dovey stuff in there. Except for the back area, where there are dildos the size of a baseball bat.
I have walked by, 11217, and but I haven’t really looked. I know it’s no smut eporium. I’ll give the windows a thorough inspection next time I’m on that block.
A “tween” runs roughly between 8 and 13. I’m sure there are very knowing children of those ages, but thank goodness my 9 yo daughter is not one of them. We talk about sex, but not sex toys. 🙂 And I’d rather not.
BK Chicken, like 11217 it’s not the same as your old fashioned time square sex store… i dont think there’s like dildos in the window and stuff, i could be wrong. i havent seen this one i dont think it does. the one on the LES i remember as not being in your face storefront. they do however overcharge for EVERYTHING, especially lube, and they dont carry any good porn. it’s all lezzy lovey dovey crap and instructional love making videos. and overpriced organic dildos, youre better off going to the 3rd ave porn district in gowanus/sunset park. it is however a great shop run by friendly people. if you can’t find your g spot, they have classes to teach you!!

Have you walked by Babeland before, Brooklyn Chicken?
It is about the classiest “sex shop” you’d ever see and quite honestly would barely know it is a sex shop when walking by because they’ve put signs in the windows so you can’t see the merchandise without actually going inside the store.
A very nice thing they did for the community and all the children, if you ask me. Babeland has classes, seminars, etc and is a great addition to the neighborhood.
It’s not like a normal sex shop.
And I’m no parenting expert, but tweens in NYC grow up fast and probably know more about sex than you think. Trying to keep their eyes away from a dildo isn’t going to prevent them from having sex. You should be open and talk to your kids about sex so that they don’t think sex shop is a dirty word like mommy or daddy apparently does. 😉
I don’t mean to be a prude, but I am uncomfortable taking my tween to shop on the same block as the sex toy store.
