There are some deals to be had downtown. Sneak out of the office on this rainy morning and head to the area around 17th Street and 7th Avenue. Here's just some of what's you'll find.
The Arte Italia glasses (pictured) plus some bowls and mugs for $4-12 per piece are at Housing Works, 143 West 17th Street. The thrift shop has a large quantity of these new in boxes. They are available in multiple jewel colors. These seem to be over-the-top in a fun way.
Williams-Sonoma, 110 7th Avenue, is discontinuing the Kitchen Aid Pro Line. Their remaining stock is available at serious sale prices. The Pro blender is $109.99, marked down from $229.95 and the toaster is $119.99 from $249.95. A sales guy told me there's some amazing horsepower and durability in this line.




The Fishs Eddy Brooklyn Heights store is closing...
everything is 75% off; there still was a LOT there this Sunday. I think it's open through next weekend...I got a glass vase, eight drinking glasses, six white plates and two mugs for a total of $17.
