Any recommendation for a store that carries quality BDSM equipment in the Big Apple??

Former is in Chelsea; latter is in the West Village. Both have very friendly but no-nonsense staff.

I second this.

I have many items from The Leather Man in my Toy Bag, as they are superior quality and custom fit for my size.  Imagine, a blindfold and cuffs that really fit - huzzah!

I mainly go to Purple Passion too. The smaller/less known places are generally lesser quality and not always worth it. The staff at Purple Passion is awesome too!
