“thoroughly unscientific” is right – that would explain why a place like Pintchik is #4 and Almac, our go-to place for everything having to do with our house, is below at #8! Almac rocks…
All I know is, I really, really miss Sid’s.
randolph – Brownstoner cares! Man’s gotta eat and can’t sell ads to the two orange and blue corporate big box stores.
Ok now do a survey which hardware store (of any size) is the best…..sorry but Lowes crushes all of them.
Home Depot is a $hithole – so on that one we agree
I dont need that much help – I need choices and organization. I want to go in, find what I need and leave. I havent been to everyone of the places listed (but used to go to Mazzone alot) and it was always a situation where I couldnt find what I wanted, then they’d help me and they’d have something ‘close.’
So my criteria is inventory; well laid out.
