Looking for a classy night out on the town with a special someone? Where you can, say, watch a woman make a handkerchief disappear only to pull it out of her vagina moments later, or applaud the efforts a guy dressed in drag as he juggles knives while bouncing on a pogo stick? Look no further than Absinthe, the staple show at Spiegeltent, a traveling circus of sorts that has plopped down on Pier 17 at the South Street Seaport. Part Vaudeville, part cabaret, part Cirque du Soleil, Absinthe is better seen than read about, particularly if you have a penchant for highbrow smut. And if nothing else, the event is a convenient excuse to ogle breasts under the guise of "performance art." Fun for the whole family!

Because batteries are a bitch, our video of the actual show is nonexistent — but as you can see, Jimmy Fallon (!) and Jeffrey Jones (!!) joined the throngs of uptowners, tourists, and i-bankers on "culture" dates for some pre-show festivities. With all the kinky fun in one place, it figures that Principal Rooney would make an appearance.
