So also this Labor Day weekend while in NYC I went to a few
other places I’ve been meaning to visit.
One of them being Obscura
Antiques & Oddities
http://www.obscuraantiques.com of the “reality” t.v. show Oddities
from the Sci-Fi channel.
Now few things in the actual store resembled the t.v. show.
Yes, it was in NYC and yes both places sell bizarre shit, like antique "rectal dialators and antique helmet for being shot out of a cannon. But other than that it doesn't bear much resemblance to everything else in the show, none of the staff, etc. From what I
understand the original location was on the Tenth Street and if you’ve ever
watched the show it’s a long narrow venue whereas the store where we were in
today was one square room.
The staff was pretty accommodating and even helped us out by
snapping our picture, though we must have appeared to be a couple of dorky tourists
(guilty). They did give us a free
postcard (see pic in upper left hand corner).
It’s a cute place to visit in the city (that’s free) just to
check out something abit more bizarre than normal.
