The Store with the Giant Whisk out front over by Piece

Yeah, try to search for that.

Anyway, can anyone tell me the name of the store? Thanks in advance, and much obliged.

Have no idea what you're talking about, but did you try Google Street View? If you put the approximate address into Google, you can "look" up and down the street and often street signs are legible. I often do this when I'm stuck for a name of a place.

Cooking Fools.

It's catering with event space upstairs and retail downstairs. The retail is mostly prepared foods with some specialty grocery. They feature:

A sizeable prepared foods case covering a fairly wide variety of meats, fish and vegetables that are usually very good (if pricey).

Small bakery case with some cookies, pastries and great mini baguettes.

A nice selection of maybe twenty cheeses with some associated accountrements.

Freezer case with lots of frozen soups, (great) stocks and some entrees.

Assorted specialty grocery, lots of crackers, dips, spreads, pastas, pasta sauces, etc.

Fridge case in the back with prepared salads and sandwiches, plus a number of house made spreads and salad dressings.

Small selection of wines and specialty beers.

And perhaps most importantly, GREAT hot sandwiches on the aforementioned baguettes made to order (the chicken and steak are a couple of my favorite sandwiches in the city).

There's more, but that covers most of it.

(I, uh... used to live above Sweet Thang directly across the street.)

Edit: Damnit, Peter, that's three times in two weeks!!!

Yay!!! Thanks to all of you - it was driving me crazy. I really appreciate it!
