Chelsea Papaya trades gay porn for Manga porn
Chelsea Papaya on 23rd Street and Seventh Ave has torn down its classic boardwalk-evoking sign. (You remember, it had a cartoon bald man stuffing a hot dog into his mouth — and if it looked a little phallic, so what? It’s Chelsea).
But what it has replaced the signage with is puzzling at best. The store now looks like an all-night shop in some Tokyo red light district that carries Manga porn and has peepshow booths. Which some might consider a step up, we suppose. Of course some people are into watching cartoons of robots diddling young schoolgirls.
