Hyde Park, NY -- CIA

[SweetSide]

I'm going on a trip soon to take a class at the CIA in Hyde Park, NY. I live in a supply challenged area, so I have to buy much of my stuff on line. Great if you know what you are looking for, but not the same as a real store. I love to just wander around a brick and mortar place checking things out.

Are there any places near the CIA in NY that I should check out? Not looking for anything in particular, but always on the lookout for a new toy to add to my collection....

Thanks!

See NY Forum; recommend Warren Cutlery in Rhinebeck.

My wife and I took courses there last Saturday -- Plating Desserts and Artisanal Baking, respectively. After class we went to THE KITCHEN DRAWER, two miles north on route 9, right side of the road. They have a wide selection of equipment including the CIA-label stuff. Judging from the inventory of knife cases and less espensive tools, I would guess that a lot of the CIA students shop there.

Everyone tells me kitchen drawer is a rip off. I still get all my stuff online. I have heard there is a neat restaraunt supply store going east of 44 near K-Mart.

Where online have you found good prices, service? I've only used Amazon, cookwarenmore, etc.

Yeah I second going to Warren (take route 9 about 40 minutes north of CIA, same road and everything). Also, because when youre done you can go another 5 minutes north and eat the best soft serve EVER at Holy Cow.. a delicious giant cone for like, a dollar and and change.

I dont know where Warren cutlery is but Rhineback is only like 10-15 minutes up the road.

Definately go to Warren. It's only 20-25 minutes, and it is a pleasant drive.
