Boutique: Project No. 8b

38 Orchard St, at Hester; 212.925.5599

A second, dude-focused store from the Project No. 8 folks, this Spartan, white-walled box peddles two types of expertly curated, high-design wares: made-to-order furniture from Germany's e15 (polygon-ish wooden chairs, modular rectangular wall shelves...), and ready-to-wear Euro duds like cream & khaki-colored jackets from Sweden's Hope, dark grey vests & overcoats from Belgium's Stephan Schneider, and slim, mod, v-neck sweaters, cardigans, and vests from Berlin's Kostas Murkudis, who sews a tiny pocket into every piece for holding guitar picks -- similar to condom pockets, they will probably remain empty.

It's a free country, buy this tee at AmericanBandit.BigCartel.com

Games: Sexy Position Darts

The latest/pointiest offering from the NY-based Sexy Slang couple, this regulation size dartboard links sexual positions to each numbered section (reverse cowgirl, butterfly...octopus!) and comes complete with coitus-themed game suggestions, including Sixty-Nine (score exactly 69pts) and Carnal Cricket, like regular cricket but you close out positions instead -- so you can doubly embarrass yourself when you're unable to hit positions you're unable to hit.

Get some. Maybe. At SexySlang.com
