One of the coolest stores in the City
Monday, March 27, 2006
You have to eat and drink, right? And you don't eat boring food do you? So why eat and drink from boring plates, cups and glasses? Enter Fishes Eddy. Originally, I shopped here for old diner cups and plates - especially loved the ones with the long-forgotten names of closed eateries. Now I go back to see what kind of cool stuff they have that I can add to my "collection".
For instance, I just bought a metal airline knife and a metal coffee pot - the prices were stupidly cheap. Back when the Palace Hotel closed, I bought a Leona H. Palace tea pot (complete with gold leaf details) - again stupidly cheap.
All of our daily glasses are from Fishes Eddy too along with a lot of our heavy duty mugs.
This is a fun, NY institution. Go, have fun, and eat from something cool and fun.
