On the Show World side of the street I thought there was at least one theater closer to 43rd st. It didn’t have the big awning/sign that sat out over the sidewalk but I thought for sure there was an adult theater on that block. I must scour the net to see if I can find a picture of the full block during the 80’s. If I can find it (right or wrong) I will post it. I wish there were more pictures of this time or a site like this for adult theaters.
GeorgeCheeksSr, if you scroll down on that site you will find your answer. Only peep shows co-existed on that block.
Does anybody know when the Show Palace closed?
I think it closed around 1994.
Its a Halloween theme restaurant nightclub
There is a bookstore one block up with the Show Palace name now.
I loved to go there!! They had some hot men with hot bodies!! I miss the good old days…
Hey folks, I am writing a fictional period piece and wondered if anyone can advise me. ANyone know what the rules would have been in summer of ‘85 at the Gaiety or Follies about touching dancers while they stripped. Where were you allowed to put the money, and what were you permitted to touch? email me at if you can provide any historical accuracy, or post here. THANKS!
The place closed June 11, 1995. Jeff, I remember putting the money in their sock or boots.
