So a different guy made new keys. Took them home. They don't work either. That was a couple months ago (I've been away). Today I brought them back, along with two different keys for the same lock, and asked if they could just check them against them in the machine, try cleaning them up. Not new keys, just try cleaning up the ones they already made. Lots more attitude, not to mention misinformation. I walked a few blocks up to Mega, got keys cut that work with no attitude (well, a friendly one.) Good thing I spent the $90 for other stuff I needed there. Screw Basics Plus. If you're going to be the local hardware store don't act like jerks.

Intelligent Kitchen is a GEM and located in my UWS neighborhood too. I came across Intelligent…read moreKitchen (IK) as my family was in need of design and project management help for our apartment renovation. We had met with a number of design build firms but were not finding what we were looking for in personalized attention. When I first met IK, the project was a certain size - one kitchen and one bathroom, possibly two bathrooms. After we met IK, heard their ideas and shared some of our dream items for our family home, we decided to re-design our ENTIRE apartment using IK as our design team for architectural services and selections across 2300 interior square feet. This included redesigning our apartment layout, tripling the size of our kitchen and gutting 3 full bathrooms and enhancing one other bathroom. We could not have done it without Lauren, Olga, Adriana and the entire IK team of designers and project managers. IK is on top of it all. We had weekly design and logistics meetings that included our budget tracking and our selection tracking. They were able to show us what our apartment was going to look like through amazing renderings that were so life-like, it was the first time I was able to truly see what I was putting together. They worked with us on finishing selections, coordination with the contracting team over 6 months with multiple weekly visits, the architect and expeditors, the ancillary services and resources for glass, marble, cabinetry and more. IK was able to deliver us the home of our dreams in NYC. Although it was a complicated and nearly year long project, we felt ready to take it all on because of IK and their team and their contacts. They were there for us every step of the way, kept us on budget and were able to meet with varying providers when we weren't, acting like our own right hand. I would recommend IK to anyone looking to do a bathroom or a kitchen or a complete and total renovation just like ours. Matter of fact, I have already referred several friends and neighbors to them. IK makes you feel like you are the only client they are working with and acted with transparency and charm each and every time. Thank you IK!

Clare has impeccable taste, high quality standards, and is masterful at understanding construction and dealing with contractors and subcontractors. Clare worked with us on planning and managing a gut renovation project on a pre-war apartment. We had a lengthy co-op board approval process and issues involving the Landmarks Commission. Without Clare's help, we wouldn't have survived these processes. Clare is superb at communicating, followup, and anticipating and preventing problems. She is resourceful and has wonderful contacts for things like speciality painting. We are thrilled with our apartment and love Clare's design. We would hire Clare again in a heartbeat and recommend her, without reservation, to anyone considering any sized project.

She requested the removal of the review in exchange of a site visit which I declined as my contractor remedied most of the shortcomings and as a company you can't preclude customers to exercise their right to review. The tarnishing of ones reputation happens when not all aspects of the service are satisfying,- and there are other reviews of similar stance I noticed. Also noteworthy is the mention of these additional services, the delivery and installation of the Stosa kitchen were not gratis, they were paid for, the price was $10,000.00---

I still vividly remember taking a coffee tasting class at this location, feeling like I had attained the peak of cultured adulthood. Revisiting the place years later, it feels a bit frozen in time. A millenial-core haven selling Star Wars pancake molds and dishware with cheeky phrases that seemed so cutting-edge back when we were 20-somethings. Their products are absolutely still fancy, but have not really updated with the times. There's something comforting about their refusal to shift to selling to a younger demographic. Where else can I find a pseudo-ironic cocktail shaker with an idiom about needing a drink? It's still the perfect place to find a housewarming gift since all my friends fall squarely into this same demographic. I did indeed come in looking for a housewarming gift, and sure enough I landed on a tequila-making set that ticked off all the right boxes. Breezing through the aisles took me back to being 22-again. Broke, but dreaming of a future of luxurious domesticity.

And through completion of our kitchen project we experienced exactly that - professionalism, on-time delivered work and diligent communication every step of the way to ensure our satisfaction. They made it easy to coordinate arrival - offering for someone to meet me and hand off keys, offering to work around our schedule, providing clear timelines of when we could expect work to be started and completed. Do not hesitate hiring these guys. They are perfectionists and will not stop until you are satisfied with their work. Thank you, Jakub and Tom.
