Bathroom Fixture Showroom?
Is there a great one-stop shop for sink, medicine cabinet, toilet, etc?
I've been trekking desperately between Park Slope Plumbing, Lowes, Garfield Bath, and some place in Staten Island. Hitting Grand Central in SoHo today made my head explode: what was I thinking? I was thinking this: I don't want to spend $2500 for a sink/vanity. Any suggestions?

Stay away from Garfield else your head will really explode.

Visit the HD showroom in Manhattan at 61st & 3rd Ave. It's a much bigger & nicer showroom than the typical HDs and a much bigger selection.

And up the block from Home Depot is Gracious Home on 3rd Avenue between 69th and 70th. Customer service can be spotty - I've had good reps and incompetent ones - but they have a lot on display and you can comparison-shop on the Internet if you see stuff you like.

Concur on the staying far far away from Garfield Kitchen and Baths; dealing with them was a nightmare. They took our money, never ordered anything, lied to us about delivery dates, screwed up basically everything they did manage to deliver, and drove my contractor insane. At one point he called them and threatened to go down to the showroom and knock heads. I still have the occasional nightmare about that renovation project.

That sounds about right. I stopped in at Garfield and asked about a toilet, and the two guys right away started arguing heatedly between themselves about who sold the last one and whether the one in the showroom was basically the same. They went at each other for, like, a full two minutes. Very awkward.
But I was hoping that there'd be some obvious place to look, a Drimmer's for sinks.

Try Home and Stone on Coney Island Avenue. Nice stuff, competitive pricing, and great customer service.

I bought a lot of my fixtures (sinks, designer faucets, shower body) at discount at a shop called Deco Ware on McDonald Avenue. There are a few similar stores out there by the F train stop.

Brooklynista! Thanks for the recommendation. Just came back from Home and Stone. Excellent. Got everything we needed, very friendly saleswoman, no condescension. Great. (Of course, I reserve the right to complain if my stuff doesn't come in on time....)
