The Blue

The Blue on West 40th Street in the Garment District is a small adult shop with video booths and toy/lube retail. Recent reviews are mixed: a positive thread cites amazing selection, friendly staff, clean and organized layout. The friction worth knowing: a customer reports a male associate (named) opens the booth door on customers when payment lapses by 10 seconds, with the same associate telling the customer to leave when challenged; pricing is reportedly inflated (a 32oz bottle of gun oil sold for an inflated price); and one reviewer notes 'piles n puddles' left in the venue with no apparent maid service. Best for Midtown West / Garment District repeat customers comfortable with the booth-and-retail combination, and worth keeping booth payment current to avoid the documented early-door-opening.
