i used to frequent the one in pasadena which was only a 15-minute walk from where i lived. the very first time i stepped foot in the store, i was almost ran out - there's so much stuff there that it was a little overwhelming. but i grew to love it and would walk in whenever i was going anywhere in that vicinity, even if i had no intention of buying anything. they have all sorts of kitchen gadgets and the best classic kitchenware. they also have a large selection of cookbooks - not that i ever bought any at the store, but it's a sign that they're a good place for serious cooks or those who are learning to cook. and even though they have very pricey cookware, you can find something really inventive and cheap if you look hard enough.
new york only has one sur la table, and i finally made a special trip down to soho for it. i walked in and felt intoxicated and then comforted that this was a store that i have known and loved for the past 2 years. with thanksgiving coming up, i'm going to have another excuse to visit it again.
also, my sister pulled out a cookbook tonight that's put together by her stage manager for broadway cares, an organization that helps to support the fight against aids and other chronic diseases. then, i remembered he complimented the food that i made for betty which she brings into work. what an honor. sur la table, here i come.
