Whenever I travel I like to seek out local kitchen shops, antique shops and flea markets. Of course I always assume there will be a spot somewhere in the kitchen that will fit a tiny (wasn’t really that small) ceramic, dip-dyed pot made in India to keep…um salt? Why not. I can’t help it. I love kitchen things. Here are some of my favorite spots in New York City.
Whisk
I am in love with this shop near the Flatiron Building/Madison Square Park. So in love that I declared I’d live in the back room that’s dedicated to baking. Upon walking into the shop, this teal-colored nook against exposed brick caught my eye. All the white ceramics pop against the lovely blue. I’d say Whisk’s kitchen assortment is somewhere between Williams-Sonoma and Sur la Table. They have the core items and additional accessories, but not quite as extensive as in Sur la Table.
