New York's one fixed BDSM asset: Pandora's Box in Chelsea, the city's legendary dungeon, with seven themed rooms available for private hire — play, photo or film — and pro-dommes available on request. A private-rental dungeon rather than a club, it anchors the Avarice bucket as a rentable space. New York's wider kink life is otherwise event-based.
