A & J Lingerie and More...
41 W 28th St, New York, NY 10001
Our take
EditorialA & J Lingerie is a long-running family-owned lingerie and adult-novelty shop on West 28th Street in Manhattan, with reviewers calling out the family-owned vibe as distinct from the newer 'new age boutique' shops. The store carries lingerie, toys, and novelty items in separate themed rooms (a reviewer-noted layout choice). Weekly discount promos, 'Titty Tuesdays' and 'Thirsty Thursdays', draw repeat customers. The owner and floor team are described as polite, helpful when asked, and good at not hovering. The friction worth knowing: posted hours are reportedly unreliable. Three separate recent reviewers report the store closed when it should have been open, one was specifically told the store closed early at 6pm despite 7pm posted hours, after paying a $27 Uber across town. Best for Manhattan shoppers comfortable calling ahead, and for first-time visitors wanting a non-corporate, family-shop experience.
