I went to Empire Exotics it looked like a nice store from the outside but when I went inside the owner was rude, would not let people try the toys or the lingerie. Not professional at all. read more

As a girl that shops a lot - this place is WaY over priced ! The selection is slim unless your looking to purchase some tacky outdated stripper wear that's cheap as hell with an expensive price tag. "Corsets" are of the plastic boned variety - good for the S&M clubs ( stand and model) It's clean and well lit - I will give it that. Staff is stand-offish - which is fine by me. Toy section is typical - pretty "Fisher Price -my first sex store" ( younger man NOT included ) type place. *yawn* I rushed over here for this ? read more

Empire Exotics - Lingerie Near Me - New York, New York

I came here to buy shoes and outfits after new years and the business was closed for an extended amount of time forcing me to drive from Manhattan to Newark in search for shoes and outfits .... I get why businesses are closed New Year's Day in New York City but at some point we need to get back to work ! You would have had my business and recommendations but instead I had to take my business elsewhere read more

Came here on 10/19 after working an overnight to buy something for my girls bday. The store was closed until 11:20 and when the clerk arrived to open I said good morning and he replied "we're not open, your gonna have to wait". Not typically the way you greet someone who spends money at your business but ok. Then once they let me in the clerk followed me to get the items I wanted to buy. The last straw for me was when I went to the register lady who was late as well to buy my items I decided to use a different card from the one I originally pulled out as I wanted to use my cc that gets me points for purchases. The lady goes "why you changing cards you have another ID (you guys see what I look like). I was beyond appalled. If I wasn't in a bind I would've left the items right there. read more

This store has an extensive selection of clothing, shoes, and accessories for exotic dancers. I have five sisters and at one time or another they have been employed as dancers, and this a great place for them. The store is clean, they have dressing rooms, the selection is good, and prices are fair. They also have an extensive selection of vibrators. The main problem is the staff. The can be pushy and annoying, and even rude at sometimes. I recently purchased a Blush Novelties Rose Luxuriate vibrator from the store and the store clerk insisted on testing it first. She put her filthy hands on an item that touches sensitive areas. When I suggested that she wear gloves, she got bent out of shape, and I called her a useless piece of Sh..! I stormed out and then purchased the item from Amazon for half the price. Good luck! read more

Empire Exotics - Good, Good, Good Vibrations! - Lingerie Near Me - New York, New York

Lady at the front was beyond rude. Do not recommend going to this store for any vibrators or costumes.

Let's get down to it. I go in and this creepazoid has to be 5 feet away from me at all times. Don't know what the deal is. Get the hell away from me creepy guy. Let me shop. So intrusive I just left. Not a comfortable experience at all. This guy is seriously creepy. I'll just shop online. read more

Great service selection of lingerie and dance wear dresses are on point love shopping here the crew is so welcoming

I genuinely feel like the staff is racist. I'm Latina a bit on the fair side. I was the only person in the store for at least ten minutes. A African American woman walked in with a small to medium bag and they made her put it in the front by the register. Mind you I have my large ass gym bag. And after a couple minutes another African American woman walks in and the make her do the same. On top of that there's this weird guy who works there Is just following the around the store Terrible. read more

FINALLY!!!! A place that lets you TRY ON halloween costumes! Thanks to Empire Exotics, I was able to test drive my slutty halloween attire. I am now sure that it semi-fits..... Minus the over-the-top cleavage, which I believe is required by law on Halloween for the female population anyway. Hop Hop Hop! *Wags newly acquired bunny tail* read more

The store people follow you around. Very uncomfortable, esp the guy following you around while you shop.

I didn't want to believe the negative reviews because it's hard to find a good store that carries pleaser heels (fyi they don't they do carry ellie heels). The price of the heels are fair.. a fairish variety. But the opener/owner/ or employee was super overbearing and unprofessional. Stay far away ladies and gents. read more

I took my best friend here to purchase her first vibrator. They have a wide selection of lingerie, dresses, corsets, costumes, stripper heels, party favors, novelty items, and most importantly - sex toys. Everything is organized very neatly, and although a bit on the pricey side, the convenience to look over all your options at once is worth it. The staff will pretty much ignore you, but it shouldn't take away from your browsing experience. Have fun! read more

I was a little nervous walking into the store by myself because it's my first time shopping for "toys" I had a good experience. The sales people don't harrass you they just let me look for what I want, even though they did ask if i needed help but I was fine looking on my own. The toys are in the back and they have a lot of different choices to pick from, it was hard to choose lol. Prices are not that bad either, I picked 3 items and I went to the register and paid and they were so friendly and down to earth they even put batteries in my "toy" to make sure it was working. Kudos! My new fave store read more

They are overated, they have very little inventory and its over price...better to go on line. They customer service is lousy.

Not sure if it's closed permanently, but I was in the neighborhood, absolutely not looking for a new "toy" (nope, not me ;) and at 10pm the gates are down on the shop. Closed up tight, though their site says they're open until 11pm. Hard to rate a place that I can't shop in. Oh well. No disappointment here. (Darn it.) read more

This store has a fantastic selection. The store owners watch everyone in their store like hawks, and they follow you around very closely, but they are also very helpful. You could find some of these items for cheaper..I would say the prices are in the higher mid-range. Excellent store, I've been back a few times and I'm always really happy with their selection. I definitely recommend. read more

In one of those strange moments when I found myself walking on a block in Manhattan, realizing I'd never been on that particular block before, I discovered that 33rd between 5th & 6th is a little stripper neighborhood. Nestled at the foot of the Empire State Building, this block caters to various "adult" contingencies -- strippers and the people who visit them. I noticed an adult cinema, a strip club, and Empire Exotics, a fancy nasty lingerie store, which was handy for me, because I needed to pick up a fishnet unitard to go under a Moisturizer costume. I was overjoyed to find it there for only $7.95, at least $2 less than I would have expected to pay at Ricky's. I hurried in & out & expeditiously got what I needed, but I noticed a comprehensive array of pasties, crotchless knickers, schoolgirl outfits and the like. They're on the worldwide web at empireexotics.com for discreet shoppers. read more

Terrible service. Bought a pair of shoes yesterday, only to find out that I was sold two left shoes. Went back today to get a shoe exchanged and after they checked the back and couldn't find my size, told me to come back tomorrow and speak with the manager. I told them that it's way out of my way and that I just want a refund, which they refused to give me. Bad customer service. What a waste of $80. read more

Well-lit, upscale store, decidedly the nicest environment to buy sexy lingerie, club wear, and costumes and of course sex toys ranging from higher-end Lelo vibrators to the usual racks of plastic-sealed dildos etc. and novelty games and toys. The sales people are ready and helpful, without being pushy. There are several dressing rooms to try stuff on as well. If you're going to Vegas for, say, a bachelorette party, and you'd like to exercise your inner slut, this is a good place to browse for some outfits before you go. If you're visiting from out of town, worth a peek. read more

I went there and the services was really bad, that girl of the from is rude. Nice things but a little overprice.

Don't ever go there. They sell defective products. Limited selection. Low quality products. Poor service. Unfriendly staff.

Great store. Nice environment. Not seedy and gross at all. They have really nice spacious dressing rooms. One side is sexy lingerie type stuff (like bustiers, corsets, teddies, etc.) and the other is more hoochie club/stripper wear. The back has some sex games, toys, lube, etc. I also like the sales people there. They'll let you browse without hassling you too much for help but if you need it (or any suggestions) they're right there. They let you try on stuff without issue--even the Halloween costumes. Lastly and most importantly: the price is on point. I don't know why it was so hard to find an AFFORDABLE generic slutty lingerie sex store. I'm not from out here so I don't know what the go-to area is for this kinda of stuff in Manhattan (in LA its definitely Hollywood--sexy stores for miles) Some stuff was on sale but even the non-sale items were very affordable. Minus one star for selection. They didn't have as much to choose from as I would have liked--especially not in my size (small). This could have been because I came a few days after Halloween when all the skanks come out to play and they depleted their inventory but none the less I still managed to find something hot for the bf. You should definitely give this place a (money) shot. Heh. read more
