Several years ago I bought from you a small, plain glass stoppered bottle to use for vinegar and oil. Do you have such now? Please e-mail cost plus shipping. Thank you, BC

Ah, thanks for the info Debbie. It’s probably a good thing I didn’t know it was so close to me all that time. Too bad they weren’t so helpful. Maybe a new attitude will come with the new location.

Hi Kelli. Bridge isn’t actually new–they were on 52nd between 2nd & 3rd for decades. They lost their lease recently, I believe, and moved a few blocks south. In the past they were known as a store for *serious* cooks only–if you didn’t have a good sense of what you wanted when you walked in, odds were you’d leave empty-handed. The staff wasn’t exactly desperate to demonstrate how to use something or do much more than tell you what it was. When I worked back-of-the-house at a nearby restaurant, I’d quake whenever the chef sent me there to pick something up–afraid I’d mispronounce something, or use the lingo incorrectly, and be laughed out of the store. Once I got used to the staff, and found my sea legs, I really enjoyed going there. Can’t wait to see the new space!

We’re getting a Sur La Table, too – on the corner of Crosby and Spring. I’m not sure when it’s opening…
