STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — For decades, Suzanne’s Fashion Corner in West Brighton has been a neighborhood hub. Stocked full of special occasion clothing and one-of-a-kind children’s dresses and suits, the Forest Avenue boutique has been the go-to spot for wedding wear and luncheon attire — its owner, Suzanne Berelson, doling out seasoned advice on stockings and accessories. But Bererlson, a trusted authority on pantsuits and cocktail dresses, recently made a major life decision: After more than 70 years in business, she will soon close her doors for good.
“This store used to be so busy every day of the week, full of people shopping and talking,” Berelson said recently, detailing the reasons behind the store’s closure. “Yesterday, one person came in for two pairs of socks. It’s time.”
