NYC sex workers rampant in open-air prostitution market amid lax enforcement

It’s well after midnight on a Saturday morning, but traffic is as thick as rush hour along a four-block industrial stretch in East New York, Brooklyn.

Scantily clad women walk mid-block, their heels click-clacking on the asphalt as they move from car to car, leaning into driver’s side windows to entice the next man in line.

One woman on the sidelines, appearing disinterested, sips from a can of Red Bull through a straw.

It’s a rare break in a cycle that repeats for hours on end: Hopping into strangers’ cars, riding out of view for 10, sometimes 30 minutes, then getting dropped back off to do it all again.

This open-air sex market has operated in plain sight on Friday and Saturday nights for months. The women, many likely trafficking victims, stop drivers who line up for their services. Their pimps pull the strings from the shadows.

My ship was in dry dock at the Brooklyn Navy Ship Yard, twice: 1960-early ‘61 and 1961-early ‘62.

Went to Times Square twice the first time. Saw the Rockettes and the movie Spartacus. Plus hit a few bars. Times Square offered nothing else that 18 y/o from Texas had any interest in seeing/doing.

Rest of my times in NYC were spent at Moriarty’s on Kings Hwy. in Bklyn. They would “sweep” us out the door at 4 am and we’d walk back to the shipyard. Sobered us up when temp was in single digits and snow covered the streets.

I know the area well, it's where my parents first met after WWII.
She was a Navy nurse and he was a Marine guard.
I also had relatives who lived in the Vinegar Hill area.
