We didn’t think so.
New York City is known for a lot of things; traffic, pizza, Wall Street, taxi cabs, Times Square, The Empire State Building, and among a million and one other things, for being the city that never sleeps.
And with that attempt at a reach for a segue, we delve into the not so underground society of pseudo-vampires, known to only come
Aside from only coming out at night, despising garlic, and being absent of reflection, what else constitutes a vampire these days?

‘Fangsmiths’
All attempts at evasive humor aside, there actually are people out there – are they only in NYC, or is that just the stereotype – who prefer to wear fangs as what we’re guessing is some part of physical adornment.

You’d think True Blood and Twilight fans would unite with the latest and greatest dental fang accessories, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

Oh, and one more thing. As for the dentistry side of fake fang manufacturing, there is no license needed to produce or place the fangs.
So be sure to choose your fangsmith accordingly!
