I went here last night for restaurant week and the food was fabulous! the atmosphere is great (trendy, dim lighting, very Soho feel). The steamed shrimp appetizer was one of the tastiest things I have ever eaten. I will definitely go back to this place even though it is very expensive

We were so thrilled with the flowers at our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. We got married under a gorgeous and unique candle-lit curly willow arch, delicately interwoven with white flowers and scattered white butterflies---people are still commenting about it! We were on a fairly limited budget for some NYC standards and really shopped around. Although we found lower estimates, after meeting with Thomas of Prudence, it was clear that although this may have been a little higher priced than the others (although still reasonable,) there was no question that we would go with anyone else but Prudence. Not only is their knowledge of flowers and level of taste of the highest standards, but their ability to listen and translate our desires into reality was spot on. Thomas spent an incredible amount of time with me (even walked through the flower district selecting exact flowers a week before the wedding,) my family and working with the wedding venue to make sure everything ran so smoothly. The Prudence staff stayed at the wedding, through the cocktail hour, to make adjustments and to make sure that everything was what we wanted. When you are putting so much of your efforts and thoughts into planning that "one big day" it is their level of conscientiousness and attention to detail, and knowing that we could trust our florist that was so important to us. The entire Prudence staff was not only so pleasant and easy to work with, but, most important to planning an event, we always KNEW we could trust them and that they were going to make everything just right...and they did!
Pros: High level of taste & detail, easy to work with & So Nice
Cons: NONE

We've just remodeled our fourth kitchen and used Krups for the second time. Wayne has been just great spending time with us, brainstorming all our options etc. Our new Capital range had an issue and he immediately hooked us up with service. Our new hood was damanged in shipment and he got us a replacement immediately and had the delivery people take the damaged one back. I can't recommend them enough.

I just can not even being to explain how long I was looking for furniture for my brand new apartment, when my GENIUS girlfriend told me about North Carolina Furniture. I walked in there and immediately I felt at ease. The staff was amazing and the furniture is gorgeous. I found everything and anything I was looking for through them. My apartment is so beautiful; there is not one person who does not compliment me on how great my apartment looks.
Insider tip: Ask for Sarah Baser she is a natural at decorating and has an amazing eye for GREAT stuff!!!

I went with a friend on a beautiful Sunday morning and sat in the outdoor seating area. The service was attentive and the brunch prices reasonable. The bread was served hot and the mimosa delicious. There was also a piano player serving up some great jazz tunes. I am surprised it wasn't more crowded. I'll definitely be back.

I've known Murat for several years, and he continues to be an excellent source and inspiration for my home. Extremely knowledgeable about all types of rugs, he has a wide assortment of pieces perfect for a NYC apartment and lifestyle. I enjoy stopping by his TriBeCa shop just to say hello! and see what new treasures are hiding in his stacks. I've purchased several gorgeous rugs from him; the prices are honest, and he gives you incredible value for your money. This should be your first and last stop whenever seeking a wonderful rug for your home.
Pros: Excellent selection, professional service, and great prices.

I made my way into this store while on vacation to New York. I have been making jewelry as a hobby for awhile, and this popped up first when google-ing stores in NY.
I was blown away by the decor of the store and amazed by how much they had. While a few things seemed familiar from my local bead stores back home., the majority blew me away. The stones, antique trade beads, and unique artifacts were like nothing I had ever seen.
The staff was so helpful in informing me of their products - and what they didn't know off hand due to the huge selection - they tried hard to find out all they could. I left with a history of all my purchases.
This store is a gem for anyone - not just jewelry designers - for anyone looking for a unique treasure!
Pros: Selection, Staff, Gifts
Cons: Parking

We have purchased a number of pieces from MDC over the last few years, I am sure well more than the cranky-pants angry reviewers that litter this listing. For best results, stick with the new UWS location and work with Yanni. Yes, Samantha was a drag and it is good she is gone. But we have always been happy with the end products, even while she was there.
I'll give one example only. We needed 3 bathroom vanities custom made for a house that we renovated outside of the city. One was simple, another a more complex built-in, and the third a difficult curved-front. Our contractor quoted us something astronomical and ultimately couldn't get the pieces done. Yanni took our architects drawings and had the pieces built to spec, one in walnut, got them done in 4 weeks, and came in at less than half what i had been quoted elsewhere.
Bottom line, if you choose well, you will get furniture at a cost and quality comparable to Crate n Barrel or even Room n Board, but custom. Just steer clear of the late 80s styles they have lying around as examples.
Pros: quality materials and workmanship, helpful in design
Cons: need to keep eye on finishes

If you don't want to trek out the suburbs or leave the state - Gothic furniture is a supplier of raw furniture designs at pretty reasonable prices. You can paint your own end table and then get compliments on it later. They have a good selection of different furniture styles and they're located all around the city - so you'll not need to travel far. Good luck!
