Lonely Planet review for John Varvatos
Set in the hallowed halls of former punk club CBGB, the John Varvatos Bowery store is either a grievous insult to rock history or a creative reconfiguration of the past – depending on which side of the gentrification aisle you happen to stand on. The store goes to great lengths to tie fashion with rock-and-roll, with records, ’70s audio equipment and even electric guitars for sale alongside JV’s denim, leather boots, belts and graphic tees. There’s also a small stage (not original) and old show posters that pay homage to the space’s colorful past.
