Coming Soon: Sur La Table

When we saw this sign on Crosby Street just north of Spring, our first reaction was giddiness. We remembered a trip to San Francisco and a visit to the Sur La Table at the Ferry Terminal Market -- rows and rows of beautiful kitchen products on display; all we could need and more -- now coming here to New York City! Woo hoo! But then our memory became more clear -- wandering through the store, somewhat shocked at the prices, leaving with a mere string grocery bag intended for use at the Union Square Farmers' Market. To be fair, we were on vacation. Did we really plan on schlepping home a Le Cruset stock pot? Not really. Regardless, we're happy that Sur La Table is coming to town, but we'll have to start saving up. Ask Gothamist on other ideas for cooking supplies.

Living in San Francisco, my girlfriend and I just call it "South of the Table" to avoid sounding like pompous twits.

I couldn't help but laugh when reading this post as the name Sur La Table reminds me of Eddie Izzard's "speaking French/ bloody monkey" bit from "Dressed to Kill." Surely, I can't be the only person who picked-up on that!

There is one on long island that's been there for a while. They have pretty cool plates and stuff too. I don't think they're that expensive though. Maybe the one in San Fran is more costly.

They carry my favorite chai mix - Orca.

Ever heard of Zabar's? Better equipment upstairs, and I guarantee the prices are better.

Sorry about the earlier comment. I guess this is the New York site - not the Chicago :-( And It might benefit me to be awake and alert. Sorry.........
