Come Shopping at Fishs Eddy with Me

We spent Saturday in New York City visiting my niece and nephew. It was a perfect fall day and we enjoyed strolling around Chelsea and stopping in the neighborhood shops. We happened upon my all-time favorite Manhattan store, Fishs Eddy. Yay!

I've posted about this shop on my blog before, but there is always something new and inspiring at Fishs Eddy --- so much so that I'm going to spend the entire week blogging about them.

Back when they opened their first store over two decades ago, the owners of Fishs Eddy happened upon a barn in the country that had been in a fire. Amazingly, the barn was filled with endless stacks of restaurant ware --- plates, bowls, platters, cups, saucers, creamers and gravy boats. Sounds like a dream, right? Luckily, the barn's owner offered them the entire dish lot. Although it was soot covered, all of the pieces were intact. After hours of scrubbing, they revealed dish patterns and shapes that were both beautiful and classic. And today, Fishs Eddy sells items that possess those same qualities.

The smiling staff person above is Tanya, the friendly greeter I chatted with. She gave me permission to snap some photos. Truthfully, I could have spent all day taking pictures at Fishs Eddy. Everywhere I looked I found exuberant displays of the yummiest commercial quality dish and glassware, with plenty of other things to make me smile.

Fishs Eddy has been around for 25 years . . . and after all this time, they are still happiest doing dishes!

I've always loved Fishs Eddy. I've been going there off and on for years. I still have a little restaurant ware saucer with a pine tree motif that I bought there.

Have to go back soon!

Great photos. Capture exactly Fishs Eddy's appeal. On my 1st trip I bought 10 of those tiny colorful bowls. How did I live without them before?
