Do you have a time machine and a yen to visit the grimy, VU-wraparound shades world on New York City in 1966?If so, I recommend this book, which I rescued from the Free Book Guy's Truck (he being a hippie [probably wants to give out burritos] who goes around doling out free books from his pickup truck, all in the name of lit'racy). I should send this book to the kids at Gawker so they can have a summer theme party of some sort...
There's a chapter entitled "The New York Hooker." One on "Staring, Peeping and Spying." At Burg-a-cue (540 Third, in 1966) "everything present, anything can happen, packed Sunday morning with all sexes from E 3os and 40s looking for a meaningful day of rest." [?] Brooklyn Heights is described as "America's first gay suburb." The phone is the best way to invite someone to an orgy. Whether you need a lawyer au fait with sodomy laws or you wish to consume psychedelics and need to get to Cafe Nicholson to enjoy their "fine jungle entrance" before comedown, if you're going to be in 1966 New York, this is the book to get!
