Spooky New York City - A Macabre Guide of Places To Shop, Drink and Dine!

[@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980]

It's so good to see you *FINALLY* getting the appreciation. For your talent that you deserve from the non Goth community. 👏🙌👍💀🦇💀

[@Cat-id1td]

I don’t understand. I am a goth!

[@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980]

@@Cat-id1td Goths automatically recognize Voltaire's gift for creating Gothic decor. That doesn’t look like something from a Halloween haunt. But now non Goths are also starting to recognize Voltaire's talents.

Voltaire singing Dr. Marten boots has made my day😆😆😆 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

"Doctor Marten's, Doctor Marten's, Doctor Marten's Boots!" I laughed out loud at that slightly obscure reference!😂

So your gothic Martha Stewart's according the NY Times eh? Brilliant. When can we expect a line of Voltaire brand towels and table cloths haha. But I'm glad your getting seen by more main stream audiences. Maybe you might even get a Disney contract for a show. Stay spooky my friend.

[@OublietteCrone]

Check the society 6 & industryeight links in the description for Voltaire designs, he’s already ahead of the curve

[@mr.masquer]

Hope we had these kind of stores in our country. It's like dream stores for me and my partner. We even want to have a traditional gothic themed wedding and probably "Stuck with you" as one of our songs haha

[@Bridget-Eleanor1967]

Thanks Voltaire. The world needs more of your hilarious dark humor. 🖤🌙🦇

[@krism.9363]

I'm from NYC & tbh am pretty much over it. It has changed a lot over the years & is INSANELY expensive. While my love affair w this place has just about ended, this video was very fun. However, please tell me you are going to cover the Village Halloween Parade. For anyone visiting NYC, dress up in your most creative costumes & walk in the parade. It is the best way to see it. It is still the one thing I love to do every year. The creativity is astounding! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! 🎃🎃🎃🎃

[@JohnChadwick]

Wow! A Young Ones reference!

[@jaynesixx2185]

Love The Young ones, great show. I hope to check out these stores one day. I love the Beetlehouse, omg Beetlejuice the musical love it!. Little shop of Horrors classic. New York is awesome, NY and Salem are on my list to visit.

[@kathykonkle1097]

Thank you. I've been doing a personal photo project with includes Halloween-themed things near where I live in the East Village. I missed ALL of these shops that you show because I was only focused on street art. Now I want to find out these places off hours and go there to take so photos this week while Halloween is still fresh before they remove any extra decorations.

[@darktwistedwitch]

This was a great episode, thank you so much Voltaire for so many great recommendations!! :D

[@lynabrahamson]

I saw this artical on my phone!! I was so happy to see you being recognized for your wonderful talents and your wonderfully macabre style! Stay spooky!

[@JoeyChilango]

Another great spooky tour (the other being your tour of Gothic Mexico City).

Hate I never got to get to the Slaughtered Lamb. Definitely need to check out the absinthe bar if I get that way anytime soon.

I'm so happy you are doing more videos again :-) That is an excellent way of showing an old cemetery to people. Never saw anything like that here in Sweden. Are you looking in the opposite direction to where the rat and Orville seems to be, or is it only how it appears to the viewer 🤔 🙂

It is hilarious because I have been to all of them👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 It's good that you made a video to help others when they come to New York. It's just too bad that a lot of bars/clubs & shops are closing down because the locals are not helping them as much as they should. That's why everywhere you should support your local scene.

Absolutely awesome to see all of these places, now I really wish I could visit NYC. I do wonder though if the US also has the same issue that I run into a lot here in Sweden where the only place you can really get gothic clothing is a german based online company and it's just seems to be impossible to find anything that fit as someone that is on the heavier side of body types.
