Agent Provocateur

Your beau isn’t buying the “it’s laundry day” excuse anymore, so it’s time to trade your boring granny panties for some sexier underpinnings. This racy bedtime brand has expanded to open its second NYC store (the first is in Soho), stocked with everything you need for a steamy night in. The opulent, two-story space resembles a glamorous old mansion, with a high-ceilinged, chandelier-adorned lobby; a fireplace-bedecked salon; and a bird-and-plant conservatory in the back that’s a great spot for vegging out on vintage furniture. Spread throughout the various rooms are loads of luxe lingerie pieces, including fishnet slips with garter hooks ($370) and floral chiffon-and lace bras ($220), garters ($220) and matching bottoms ($140). Feeling especially kinky? Nab heart-shaped tassel pasties ($65) and leather spanking paddles ($170).
