Williamsburg’s Whisk kitchen supply store, which was voted Best Kitchen Store for 2011 by the Village Voice, is opening up an office in the Flatiron at 9333 Broadway (at 22nd Street).
Whisk stocks almost everything you could need or want in a kitchen from bakeware, to cutlery, to electrics, to coffee gear and much more. Need to make butter? We thought so. Don’t have a garlic zoom? They got you covered. Only drink coffee from a Aeropress coffee maker? How 2012 of you. Can’t find your Scrubble? Fed up with apple peels and cores. No worries. Eccentric kitchen tools aside, the place is awesome for the home (or professional) chef. It’s a great fun addition to the neighborhood.
Word from their blog is that they will be opening this spring in the old M Gordon novelty spot, which is thematically appropriate since they have so many kitchen novelty items. PS: They are hiring for the new location, so get your resume in to jobs@whisknyc.com.
