Show World

Show World on Eighth Avenue near 42nd Street in Times Square was opened in 1977 by Richard Basciano and was spread over 4 floors with peep shows, x-rated films, live sex acts, adult books and dvd for sale. This sex emporium remained in business when the “Disney-ification” of Times Square began in the 2000s but finally closed in 2018 when the owner passed away. •

We recently livestreamed an architectural tour of West 42nd Street and visited some of its gorgeous theaters and although we miss the gritty old Times Square in many ways, it is nice to see some of the historic theaters 🎭 restored including the New Amsterdam Theatre with its marble wall sculptures depicting moments from great Shakespearean plays.
