I'm now in Dallas, TX. One good thing about living here is that I can easily grow the food/herbs I cook almost year round in my apartment patio. Love my "yard".

Manhattan, 25th and Third Avenue, with a itsy bitsy kitchen (complete with Barbie-sized stove). All the same, we love to cook, and my boyfriend bought me a KitchenAid mixer for Christmas. Now I just need to find somewhere to put it...

Northwest Connecticut (that doesn't still count as the NYC area, does it?).

My husband bought me a KitchenAid Mixer too! Giggles! He bought me the pasta maker attachment too. He didn't even get a chance to wrap it before I started playing with it. Counter space is also a problem in my kitchen. That's why we don't have a microwave to the horror of friends. Miss my barbie oven of my old Chicago apartment. I pulled magic with that girl(sniffs).

Land of cornbread, catfish and greens....Mississippi. (and crazy-assed half-sober cooks)

DUMBO, Brooklyn (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass)

My husband bought me a KitchenAid two years ago for Christmas when we were dating. I heard it rattling around in the trunk and I asked if that was my present (I hate surprises so I always try to guess). He was so annoyed that I figured it out that he told me he was going to return it! I was so upset. So he dropped me back off at our hotel and left to go return it. But really he just drove around and went to his friend's house! And I still got the KitchenAid for Christmas...

Manhattan -- Chinatown. I don't have a microwave either due to lack of counter space. I've been living w/o one for the past two years, and my friends are still horrified. No oven either.

Ottawa, Canada. And I too have a barbie-sized stove in my micro-kitchen.

Brooklyn in the house!

And a 100 year old Magic Chef stove in the kitchen.
It's sooo cute but no temperature control to speak of - which makes me superchuffed to bake with it.

i'm in the LES (lower east side for non-new yorkers) in a veeeeery old tenament with a veeeeeery small kitchen!
blissfully however, it has very high ceilings and i am very tall, so i've converted the space on top of the cabinets into some highly useful storage
i don't have a mixer, but i do have a bulky (and heavy!) cuisinart that my mom gave me for christmas three years ago, along with my great-great grandmothers cranberry relish recipe
its supposed to made with a hand crank table top sausage meat grinder, but the cuisinart does a nice approximation!

Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. Spacious apartment with a disproportionately puny kitchen, yet sadly still more counter space than Ive had elsewhere in NYC.
