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.
