variety shop

Mrs. Bernstein’s husband had been selling camp labels in a Brooklyn variety shop but it failed and now he drives a bus for a Hasidic yeshiva and helps out with the cooking.

The storm was indiscriminate, taking multimillion-dollar homes and tin shacks, blasting holes in the sprawling Long Bay Private School and the tiny Claire’s Variety Shop.

Set against a graphic polka-dotted backdrop, it’s something like Chelsea’s version of a variety shop, where you can dash out and stock up on culty Comme staples.

But Diana Gualli, 36, the manager of the Variety Shop clothing store in Queens, said that for many Latinos, fashion favors covered legs.

In the human variety shop just described, I must not forget to speak of my sisters, the Turkish women, imprisoned in a small portion of the deck, protected by a curtain from all intrusion or inspection.
