MKV : Mankind Video Store

Pooh and I were driving down 5th avenue one day and we saw a store that caught our eye. The window front had a bunch of round colorful stickers with MKV on them. There were rainbow flags all over the roof of the building so we figured it was some kind of gay establishment. What really caught our attention was the really awesome graffiti and artwork on the walls. We didn’t know what kind of business the place was but it really peaked our curiosity. Unfortunately, we didn’t stop by since we were meeting friends.

Pooh and I randomly decided to check the place out this past weekend. To our surprise it was a porn store. It was quite a pleasant surprise. We were greeted by a very friendly guy (I think he was the owner) that informed us about different sections of the store and what they carried. The layout of the store was pretty nice. The interior was hip and welcoming. There are currently 2 floors. The third floor will soon be available for “classes” and “workshops”.

…Pretty interesting.

Pooh and I didn’t buy anything but we joined their mailing list. The guy working there made it a very enjoyable experience. He was very funny and definitely added charm to the place. I think we’ll be buying our “essentials” at MKV. :)

I tried to see if there were images of the store but all I could find was their website. Mankind Video The website doesn’t look anything like the inside of the store. If you’re ever in the area and find yourself in a “curious” mood, stop by Mankind Video. Let me know what you think!
