It is always a treat to welcome in a new voice here to The Journal of Adult Theaters, to add a fresh perspective to this thing of ours. A voice whose relatives hail from the same island as The Good Doctor's.
Ladies & gentlemen of The Journal, I present to you The Other Sicilian.
The Other Sicilian (also known to a select few as TOS), hit one of my favorite venues in this thing of ours, the legendary Berlin News Agency (Hi Brenda, Bill, & Paul!) in Berlin, NJ in late April & early May, 2022.
Take it away, The Other Sicilian!

Greetings Doc:
I recently made two trips to the Berlin News Agency on back-to-back Saturdays, April 30th and May 7th, 2022. What follows is my field report.
For anyone who's never been to the Berlin News Agency in Berlin New Jersey, this is a must visit if you are in the area. I personally travel 2 hours to get there and stay overnight in a hotel. It's worth it.

The Venue: The front of the store has an extensive selection of adult toys, magazines and videos. To access the back area, insert $10 into the electronic Bill taker by the door towards the back, listen for the buzz and enter.
In this first section you will find 7 theaters. The main theater has five rows of seats, 5 seats across. In the back of this theater there are padded vinyl benches and a large play table. The other six theaters are somewhat smaller, and only have benches and padded play tables. Quality porn is playing on a screen in each theater.

Connected to this area through a hallway you will find at least 30 video booths that accept paper currency. Both areas are included in the $10 price. If you need to step out of the store to make a phone call or catch a smoke or whatever, they will allow you reentry at no additional cost as long as you don't leave the parking lot.
Cleanliness: The floors are mopped and all benches and play tables are sanitized twice daily. Not typical in my experience for such a venue.
The Staff: Friendly, attentive and accommodating. A member of the staff patrols the back area most of the evening, and, in my opinion, it's a good thing.
The Clientele: The men behave like gentleman and are respectful of the ladies and the couples. Not once did I see any behavior that was uncalled for. The ladies, very sexy, most always completely naked and downright accommodating. Five or so couples were there throughout the first evening and a good time was had by all. The second evening was somewhat of a washout due to heavy rains in the area. Still saw some action, just not as much as the week before.
Hours of Operation: 9:00 a.m. to midnight Monday through Saturday, noon to midnight on Sunday. I believe they were 24/7 before covid-19, but no longer.
This concludes my field report. Thanks for the opportunity to share my experience with you and our community.

Doc here again... Many thanks goes out to The Other Sicilian for an outstanding maiden voyage at The Journal on his recent adventure to the legendary Berlin News Agency in Berlin, NJ! Bravo, sir! Please keep the cards and letters coming!
BNA is a must-see if you are anywhere near Philly, and missing it would be a crime in my estimation. Great managers and staff make a HUGE difference, and BNA is the gold standard!
Thanks,
-Doc
