Nasty Pig (Closed Temporarily)
Shops · New York, NY
About
Unlike most gay shops in Chelsea, Nasty Pig is a queer-owned brand that has been making clothes designed to 'get you laid' since 1994. The store sells everything from jocks and chaps to rubber and play sheets, with a focus on masculine, sexually self-assured customers. But founders Frederick Kearney and David Lauterstein call it an art project and a love story too, blending hip-hop culture with gay culture. It's dog-friendly, so you can bring your pup while you browse.
"This place is paradise located right in the middle of Chelsea."
The temporary closure status makes it tricky to plan a visit. If it reopens, Sunday hours are noon to 7pm, other days 11am to 7pm. The store sits in Chelsea near 7th and 8th Avenues. Reviews mention the eye candy among shoppers, but confirm the closure timeline before heading over.
The store is located in Chelsea, near 7th and 8th Avenues, surrounded by other shops and galleries.

“Not for me.”
I was let down. There wasn't much selection in clothing. It didn't match the website.
