Multikulti Review

This is a cool little spot, chock full of items, to browse if you're looking for great deals on sunglasses, costume jewelery, dance attire, belly dancing attire/zils, scarves, handbags, henna tattoos, greeting cards....oy....the list goes on! Very reasonably priced...many is the time you don't NEED any of this stuff...but you WANT it and you recognize it immediately! Reda, the charming owner by way of Alexandria, Egypt, has a way with the ladies and an eye for knowing what they want! = ) He has been there for 10 years, and generally knows everyone by name even if it's only their 2nd or 3rd visit! He makes time to chit chat while he's ringing each person up and everyone leaves there smiling, with a shopping back full of cool stuff! (Actually, now that I think of it, this store is a microcosm of the old Headlines chain...remember those cool shops on Market and in the Castro?) 

On my most recent visit, I picked up some Jackie O sunglasses, a Cleopatra headdress (yes, I will FIND a reason to incorporate it into some future ensemble) some new zils for belly dancing, a pink ostrich feather and panne velvet mask (shades of Eyes Wide Shut...process THAT visual for a moment =) and life changing blue Swavorski crystal chandelier earrings! 

The ONLY drawback is parking on this street AND with 1 hour meters! (And the construction going on right now has alot of spaces blocked off) Take public transit or park a couple blocks down on a side street and hoof it over there! 

They are open 6 days a week, closed Mondays, from 12 to 8pm

Shoukran Reda-habibi, for this little mecca of sparkly goods and sunshine you have created for your clientele! You keep us coming back for more!!!
