3. The World Theater

The World Theater, which was located at 153 West 49th Street, was where Deep Throat played from 1972-1973 until the movie was seized by the cops. This site is now a pocket park. According to The New York Times, the Village East Cinema (a Moorish revival gem), on 2nd Avenue, was used as the stand in for filming and “transformed into the World Theater on West 49th Street, as part of a re-enactment of the premiere in 1972 of the groundbreaking adult film Deep Throat.
