Naughty

For a spicy trip down memory lane, check out the Cityroom blog today at the NYT--they're showcasing The Gentleman's Directory, an 1870 guide to the brothels and whorehouses of Manhattan. It's a fascinating look at a slice of history that's usually hidden away, swept under the carpet. It's interesting to think of people back then as real and flawed, rather than the quaint, idealized picture painted by most history books.

Enjoy!
