“Variety Store” Loosely Translated As Illegal Pokerino
When you want to run an illegal poker machine set-up in the back of your Italian Market shop, simply refer to it as Variety Store and the gamblers will come. And as is widely known in this city, whenever someone is making money off of something, be it underage, not entirely lawful, or as we find it, seriously fucking endearing, the cops are all over it like hot pretzels. After confiscating $141,000 in cash, more than $4,000 in quarters and a loaded handgun, the Vice Enforcement Unit (which we mistook as a reference to the Vice Mag staff), felt really cool and the store was shut down. We then imagine that they landed a table at Sabrina’s. If you want your “variety,” might we suggest the corner store with the piñatas and Mexican snack cakes? You never know what you’ll discover inside either of those things.
