1. JB Prince’s new location—This place is incredible. Anyone who lives downtown and loves to cook will appreciate that they just opened a new flagship showroom in Chelsea Market. I find myself buying things I don’t even need or that I already have. It has some pretty cool New York history, too: the company was started in a Park Slope brownstone in 1977.

JB Prince @ Chelsea Market: 75 9th Avenue, New York, NY 10011

GIVEAWAY ALERT⭐⭐⭐
Calling all home cooks: Our friends @ Misen are giving away a FREE 18-Piece Misenware Mixed Set ($259 value). Enter by midnight on 10/31. If chosen, you’ll receive a one-time code via email, redeemable through 12/31.


2. HexClad’s latest baking set—I’ve been a HexClad fan since the brand launched a decade ago, and its new six-piece Hybrid bakeware set is a smart upgrade: It’s made from patented laser-etched stainless steel, has a PFAS-free nonstick surface, and includes a few different cake pans, a baking sheet, and a cooling rack. It’s also a very good holiday gift.
