The Bergen Street space that’ll house Toys in Babeland is being gussied up by construction workers, one of whom told us that the adult-toys shop is scheduled to open in June. The interior (no pics allowed!) is still very raw, but judging from the test paint swatches on the wall, it’s going to be quite colorful when all’s said and done. As an aside, the long-in-the-works eatery next door, Organic Heights, opened up a couple weeks ago. Dildos and wheat germ, oh my!

  1. You’ve clearly never been to a Babeland, 3:14.

    It is FAR from smutty.

    Should we close down the subways too, so kids don’t hear foul langage? Jeez, I saw some girl giving a bj to her boyfriend behind a pillar on the platform at Grand Army Plaza at 9:45 am last week.

    You sound like you are more well suited for Utah than New York City, my friend.

  2. 3:13 is the perfect example of a very bitter renter.

    You didn’t buy anything when you lived on this block when it was a dump, now you are blaming a longstanding neighborhood business for…well…doing business (and a great one at that…Pintchik is one of the most loved businesses in the neighborhood)and THEN you trash talk the locals because you were priced out.

    Sounds healthy.

    Maybe there aren’t as many People of Color in crisis as there once was in these parts. That sounds like a GOOD thing to me!

  3. 252 here.
    To 257, wtf does “tabboo” mean?

    I’m not saying talking about sex to your kids should be TABOO… I’m saying kids potentially being exposed to smut shops is/should be taboo.

    Please follow logic, stupid.

  4. I use to like this block, too, before I was evicted from it to make way for luxury apartments and embarrassing businesses like Organic Heights and Bump. The mighty Pintchik owns the whole block and evicted all of the tenants, many of them long-timers, so that they could luxurify the apartments and expand their empire. Before Babeland, that space was rented by People of Color in Crisis. Although, perhaps I should be grateful that I don’t have to witness frizzy-haired, make-up-less, tragically unloved Park Slope women buying giant dildos.

  5. This is not a sex shop in the usual sense of the word. No booths in the back, no neon out front with posters of schongs on the window.

    This is a boutique that happens to carry items pertaining to sex. A very different thing. I mean…we all DO have sex here…well except for maybe 2:52.
