For there he will encounter nothing but various concoctions all labelled "naughty" and exploiting various and sundry degress of "it".

While it is dernier cri in New York smartness, the closest glimpse one gets of the notorious Village is a night club whose snaky denizens seem to be suffering from the effects of the last rehearsals.
