Bowery Kitchen Supply

My girlfriend just moved out to her own apartment. She doesn't have kitchen supplies, so I decided to surprise her with at least some knives, pots, and pans. I headed to Bowery Kitchen Supply in Chelsea, had some trouble finding the store in the Chelsea Markets complex, and then raided it for two skillets, a wonderful $14 chef's knife, a $2 (!!!) dollar paring knife, some handles for the skillets (so that they can come in and out of the oven) and, for myself, a baguette mold.

It is unclear to me why I am encouraging the Hirsute Warrior's girlfriend to cook. This may result in me being able to cook less often in the future, which concerns me rather.

I also managed to avoid having yet more Gelato (see below), this time from L'arte de Gelato, which has an outpost in the markets. Of course, I also somehow withstood Sarabeth's Bakery, Amy's Bread, and various other temptations. Always standing on the precipice of fatness has its dangers.
