Over the past few years, Bergen between Flatbush and Fifth Avenue has become one of Park Slope’s most vibrant shopping strips, with an independent bookstore, several eateries and a couple of clothing shops. Now two more retailers are about to call the street home. Within the next several months both kiddie-centric Gymboree and adult-centric Toys in Babeland will be opening stores on Bergen, according to Matthew Pintchik. Pintchik is one of the owners of Pintchik Hardware, and his family has invested in the area since 1912. Gymboree will temporarily take the space at the front of Pintchik Hardware on Flatbush and Bergen before it moves into its permanent digs further down the street. Pintchik says that Gymboree’s temporary location is still on the market, and his family is in talks with a number of national retailers who are considering leasing the storefront, including big boys like McDonald’s. We’re not ruling out anyone at this point, though we’ve been trying to create a community with the stores that have leased space on Bergen, says Pintchik. Trader Joe’s, please call me up.

5:46 here–sorry, after re-reading my post I realize it was definitely waaaay too much info. Just wanted to add that I’m a stripper on the weekends.
sex is weird
QUOTE: “Are all of your sex lives that boring that you need toys? Personally, I’m a meat and potatoes kind of person. ”
HAHAHA! That’s awesome, but where do you stuff the potatoes?
I don’t need to hear who uses toys and who doesn’t thanks. If you do, then I’ll see you at Babeland. If you don’t then I won’t. No more disclosures, please!
5:46=way too much information
This might be way too much information, but since we’re on this topic–I’ve been in a monogamous relationship for 13 years and the sex is still so good that we’ve never felt the desire to use any “aids” or toys. Guess I’m in the minority. (female hetero, btw)
what’s a gag gift? does it make you gag?
my wife and our girlfriend always use toys.
you would never buy “this stuff”
CONDOMS? GAG GIFTS? LUBE?
it’s not all 16 inch black dildos, you realize…
