I'm looking to buy some white plates. I have no idea where to look! Where do fine dining restaurants buy their stuff? I spent all day today running around Manhattan trying to find some nice modern looking plates but all I found were thick Japanese restaurant style plates and the few that they sell at some of the William Sonoma type stores.

Any Ideas? :blink:

TIA

Would you consider Ikea? I've turned over plates in more than one nice restaurant and found their name! Also, Crate and Barrel.

Last one was Villeroy & Bosch - I wouldn't have minded slipping a few of those into my bag. got bucks?

I just recently bought 8 white square plates at a Dollar Tree store. Great plates for $1 each.

It's at least worth a look.

I just get my stuff at Crate and Barrel. It's not dirt cheap, but it's inexpensive; you can buy any needed dish and have it match the rest of the set -- if I needed a dozen gratinee dishes to match my plates I could pick them up this afternoon -- they're reasonably durable without looking coarse; and when I break stuff, as I always do, I can replace it with something exactly (or almost exactly) the same years later.

So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money. But when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness."

So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.
