The Alessi store on Greene Street opened six months ago not only with it’s usual affordably and cleverly designed house wares, but also, with a built it JOE kiosk. Shoppers salivating over smartly thought-out teapots can sip on a cup themselves as they peruse.
As you sip your elixir, don’t miss The Chin Family Kitchen Timer—a rendition on a kitchen classic that is neither overly cutesy nor overly modern. If you fancy a more contemporary decor, aluminum bowls from The Nuvem Family are superb collectors items from the Spring/Summer collection.
If you are hesitant whether these high design collections are actually functional, be sure to consume some JOE, as all drinks are served in Alessi ware. Not to be missed is the espresso granita. Espresso, milk, and sugar get blended and then topped with house-made whipped cream for—though not a novel coffee drink—a deliciously sweet SoHo afternoon pick-me-up.
