Rainbow Station adult bookstore, 8th Avenue

One of a few shops along 8th Avenue selling (mostly gay) erotica, porn DVDs, underwear, lube, dildos, sex toys, novelties, and the like, Rainbow Station (207 8th Ave., 212-924-0591) is open 24/7 and competes with the long-running Unicorn as well as the Blue Store; Pride NYC appears to have closed. This one is well-stocked, and it's a bit less seedy-feeling than some of the smaller, darker spots with less prominent locations.
