apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Bridge Kitchenware [www.bridgekitchenware.com] and Broadway Panhandler [www.broadwaypanhandler.com] covers it all.

Big love to Broadway Panhandler!

lil'love to ebay for vintage kitchenware...when you just have to have a wooden handle on your Creuset frying pans

I also use the Park Slope Food Coop for wine glasses, gadgets and dishtowels, but it's a membership organization and you have to work there to shop there.

Sur la Table (www.surlatable.com).

Broadway Panhandler FOREVER
sur la table is for people with more money than sense - you can get pretty much everything they sell there for far cheaper at the Panhandler, and you can rest tight knowing you're supporting a great local business

also, i love the martha stewart cookware they sell at K-mart - great quality for the moola

and for cheap le Crueset and wonderful reidel wine glasses TJ Maxx is the best

and if you want a unique, cheap spice rack, check out the collecting boxes/bottles at the Container Store
they're usually prettier, and cheaper, than the ready made spice rack sets, and you can come up with cool containers to hold them
i made mine out of a steel cutlery holder meant for a drawer and a bunch of plastic, airtight collecting boxes
in total the whole thing cost me $7, as opposed to $20 for a ready made one, and it looks really, really cool!

I'll second Broadway Panhandler, and add:

Chelsea Restaurant Supply (in Chelsea Market);
Woodbury Commons Outlets (great Le Crueset, Williams-Sonoma and Crate & Barrel outlets);
BB&B, William-Sonoma and Crate & Barrel retail chains are good, but no discounts there;
Dean & Deluca for some great tools;
China Town for cheap cleavers, bowels and basic pots/pans.

Besides another vote for Broadway Panhandler, I like Bari Restaurant Supply on the Bowery.

For small kitchen tools, I've had great luck with the house brand at Target -- their silicone spatulas are fabulous and so much cheaper than at other places. Martha's KMart line is terrific, too.

Williams Sonoma

Bridge is another good one.

Personally, I like Sur la Table for browsing in, if not buying. The one in Pike Place Market is just beautiful. There's also another little store called The Spanish Table, I believe, just behind the market that's interesting. They have some stunning spanish ceramic. I realize that most of you are New Yorkers, so please forgive my Seattle references :).

and
the MOMA Design Store
for the odd bit of serving stuff or gifty thing

(waiting until Members Discount Day)

I have bought kitchen stuff from Ashton Green and liked it.

Stoops sales and mom's kitchen are great sources too. And Ikea!

Broadway Panhandler forever, man, especially for things like pressure cookers and demonstration of products. Zabars upstairs. Ikea. Mahthah Stewart at Kmart for sure. Bowery Kitchens here and there. Occasionally amazon.com, though I'm not proud of it.

To get all the kitchen stuff we need on a very tight budget we love restaurant supply catalogs and their websites like www.centralrestaurant.com and www.servu-online.com. In addition to the stuff we need, cheap, they have things to drool over like automatic butter spreaders. Of course, for things like Ball canning jars I always make a trip to Zabars upstairs.

it's hard to beat amazon for small appliance pricing.

www.cutleryandmore.com is also very good, with a deeper selection

for kitchen spices

www.penzeysspices.com

www.cookswares.com has very good high-end pots&pans OTHER than AllClad/Calphalon. They carry AllClad too. Their prices seem competitive on cookwares.

For AllClad, try Amazon.

For kitchen gadgets, the Fortunoff's in Wayne has a great "wall".

I'm a big fan or acemart.com, i found them to be cheaper than my local restaurant supply warehouse and orders over $350 have free shipping. Some of the stuff is bad diner quality but other stuff is great.

I can't believe Wms. Sonoma didn't get on the list!

Exactly! I was surprised Williams-Sonoma wasn't on the list, too!

Hi Caitlin, I too love The Spanish Table at Pike Place Market. And speaking of the market, I finally set foot in Turkish Delight and can't believe I've been missing out all these years. Delicious!
