$16.29 for a replacement sink nut? Edward W. shamelessly defended his sales. Warshaw Hardware is never the go-to hardware store when Home Depot is around the corner. :( Two thumbs way down. read more

These guys are awesome! I live around the block from them and my dogs try and pull me there every time I go nearby since every time I have been inside the store, they have treats ready and love dogs. But, they have also been more than helpful when trying to find something needed and even nicer of them, they have let me use products inside for something without charging me or making me buy it. I have even offered to pay for things and they wouldn't accept since they knew it was something small and were just willing to lend a helping hand and/or tool. read more

This is my second review. I've been purchasing items at this hardware store for over 25 years now. I have always found that this particular hardware store not only has everything I have ever needed but the people there are most helpful, friendly and go over the top to provide whatever is needed including advice. A true mom n' pop kinda place!! I call them and they are always ready to answer questions so I don't have to walk over there to find out if they can help or not yet, in my long-term experience they have ALWAYS been able to help me. I highly recommend make a visit to them for all your hardware needs or call them since you may not even be aware that they can help you! Pasquale S. read more

My daughter needed a new air conditioner and this is the closest hardware store to her apartment. Longtime family business, extremely competent and courteous. Carl knew exactly what she needed, recommended his preferred brand based on long experience, charged me the same price as Home Depot online, perfectly and professionally installed it, and it's working beautifully. read more

Great service! Went in to get my keys copied and the guy explained the whole process to me. It was awesome. Very friendly! read more

I would like to write a really detailed review but they fixed my lamp so quickly I barely had enough time to even notice too much about the store! But the efficiency and friendly customer service are worth all the stars. Seriously, my cat broke a lamp weeks ago in a fit of rage because I tried to pet her belly and I was just about to toss it (the lamp) and commit another act of conspicuous consumption and buy a new one off of Amazon when I saw Warshaw's advertisement "Sick lamp? We can fix it!" And they told the truth! Seriously, maybe 90 seconds is all it took. They didn't even charge me for it! Probably because I'm very charming. read more

Great neighborhood hardware store - replaced locks for us at a very reasonable price. Staff is invariably helpful and willing to provide how-to advice on minor repairs. read more

A true neighborhood gem. They are unbelievably warm and eager to help. They have helped me figure out so many fixes and really know their products. They are exactly what a great hardware store should be. read more

This mom and pop shop is tucked away on 3rd Ave on the mist of bagel stores and known names. Needing to get a key duplicated I stumbled upon this shop (google maps had directed me to the 7/11 across the street). This place is amazing! He makes keys. They sell everyday things for around your apartment. Prices are right. Owner friendly. If you're on the east side of 5th Ave I highly recommend. read more

Great hardware store in Gramercy Park. They are very attentive and have a wide selection of tools and cleaning supplies. Warshaw hardware also has a locksmith on site for affordable prices. They also deliver hardware, tools and paint! read more

As a follow up: I was in town from LA where it's so easy to drive around and get what I need. Furnishing a small apartment for my daughter in NYC was NOT easy. But you guys made some of it -- I went back twice -- a pleasure! read more

Was trying to support local hardware store but very poor customer service even by NY standards. Avoid.

It does not get better than Warshaw's. Just went in this morning for some electrical supplies and was cheered by being able to shop in a convenient local store with personal service. It's a family-owned small business that contributes to our neighborhood: a place where the owners and the employees make an effort to be genuinely helpful. These folks know their stuff but never condescend to those of us who are not pros. As someone who has benefited from their great service and reasonable prices for the last twenty years, I salute them for managing to keep their store open when it seems that only nail salons, chain drugstores, and banks survive. G.A.M., East 15th Street read more

I was running out of Bounty paper towels. Warshaw Hardware had them and they were not overcharging. Thank you Warshaw.

Installed a deadbolt lock for me. Super fast and friendly service. Can't recommend them enough.

There aren't many hardware stores anywhere, let alone in Manhattan, that you can walk into and hear the floorboards groan under your feet. Or encounter aisles that are so narrow and cluttered with overflowing stock from the sides that you have to almost walk sideways to reach the back where the register is and perhaps ask a question of someone behind the counter, who will probably be a member of the 4th generation running the store. A trip to Warshaw hardware at 248 Third Avenue, is my own return to my past when the family shop was on the corner of 18th Street and 3rd Avenue. Third Avenue between 14th Street and 23rd Street in the 60s was my oyster. I knew all the shops on both sides of the avenue. As for hardware stores, if we needed anything there was always Warshaw and their competition Greisman's on 22nd street, on the same side of Third. Greisman's is gone, and as Ed of Warshaw tells us, when he was growing up there were seven hardware stores in the area. Right now, other that Warshaw, I know of two. and was in both of them yesterday. The sign over Warshaw's door tell us they've been there since 1928. Above the store are three stories, likely apartments for the family members. I once asked Ed how were they there so long, and he explained I think it was an uncle who convinced the family to buy the building decades ago. Owning the bundling when you're the store makes all the difference to your future when you're in Manhattan. Landlords and rents will do away with you. If Warshaw has been there since 1928, the building has probably been there since the late 1800s. The Third Avenue El would have been going by those upper floor bedroom windows either disturbing sleep, or helping it. The place no doubt shook a bit when trains went by. As for my own family's experience, my grandfather didn't go into real estate. The two buildings the Third Avenue shop was in at 3rd and 18th Street were too big for a proprietor to buy. (The first shop was a front for Pete's Tavern on Irving Place and 18th Street when it was a speakeasy.) There's a picture of my grandfather in front of the store when it was on the southwest corner, the old store. He's standing in front of the store with his son, who was not yet my father, with a poster on the window about buying war bonds. I look at the picture and wonder if my grandfather was ever "worried" about the world his grandchildren were going to be in. You can't tell of course, but if he really had a thought about the future he should have bought a building. Just 20' of frontage on Third Avenue would be worth something today. Some things are not meant to be. I once needed hanger bolts for a woodworking project. A hanger bolt is machine threaded at one end, and twist threaded for wood at the other end. Warshaw had it. When it came time to need the bolts again for building more Adirondack chairs I again went to Warshaw's. The young helper was unfamiliar with the item, so I showed him where they were. When you're dealing with a hardware store as classic as Warshaw's it helps if you get to ask a question of someone who was born there. They are the only ones who really know where everything is. The most recent trip to Warshaw's--and there were three--was to get 60 watt bug lights. These are yellow, and do not attract the moths and mosquitoes outdoors when they are in season. Home Depot was worthless, and the hardware store at 152 East 23rd Street store, Vercesi, where I could always rely on finding these bulbs, had now gone away, the building came down, and a new one was going up. Vercesi was also a classic hardware store that apparently got so successful they expanded into the store adjacent to them and stocked more household items. The entrance to Vercesi was also classic, an entrance way that was flanked by two display windows. Warshaw is classic as well, but in the sense that half the store seems to be on the sidewalk. Ladders of varying size, boxes, joint compound, and a few other items that have to make closing the store a bit of a struggle. You probably have to back out of the place. At the flower shop, when it was Christmas time, we had trees and other holiday plants and greens on the sidewalk. When it came time to close up I had to haul it all back into the store and back out as my father waited with the key to lock the door. The most recent quest that took me to Warshaw was chasing 60 watt bug lights. My go-to guys at Vercesi were now a construction site. I walked further down Third to 20th Street to see if a similar fate had somehow befallen Warshaw. No. Tons of stuff was in front of the store on the sidewalk, so they were still there. But no 60 watt bug lights. Ed said he'd order them. A few weeks later I was back in the city for something so I went to see if they had gotten the bulbs. No. Ed once again put in inventory order and said he'd have them at the end of week. Maybe two weeks later I was back in the city for a few things and still chasing my yellow whale read more

This is the greatest neighborhood hardware store on the planet. Support this longtime family business every chance you get. I do all of my hardware shopping here, ever since I moved into the neighborhood. It's a little cramped, but they always have exactly what I need and never try to upsell me on anything. They don't sell ferns, or doilies for lamps, or pretty tool aprons, just hardware- everything you need to fix what needs fixin. I just now went to replace a florescent bulb and get a few anchors and fasteners. I saw the lights were on but the door was locked. 5:13 and they closed at 5. Dang. I saw movement in the back and waved. He came to the door, unlocked it, gave me everything I needed and I was on my way. He didn't refuse to let me in outright like most places would have, he never once said anything about how he was going out of his way to stay open later, he was courteous, helpful, and friendly AND it was all after he was supposed to be headed home. This place needs your business more than the mindless drones and CEOs at Home Despot. Support local beacons of traditional neighborhood customer service and go to Warshaw, dammit! read more

This is the real deal. Oldschool, know what they're talking about, they've got what you need or can get it if they don't. Don't know what you need? Come in, tell them the issue and they'll tell you what you need. Owned by two brothers who should have their own npr show like those "car talk" brothers but for household repair and build. Seriously the best- don't even bother going anywhere else. read more

This place is great. The guys are friendly, smart and direct. Being a middle aged woman with not great home improvement skills and so I get a lot of attitude in hardware stores. The Warshaw guys NEVER do that. And their rates for rewiring lamps are the best. Also I had to buy a dimmer and sure I could have gotten the $35 but the guy told me honestly, the $10 would do just as good. Honest, great store and honest great guys. Thank you Warshaw. read more

If you need something they got it. This is a real honest to goodness hardware store. Not to be missed.

I'm totally lost in a hardware store. Thankfully the Warshaw staff is super friendly and offers guidance on how to fix things. The prices are also reasonable, particularly compared to Duane Reade and CVS. read more

I have been a very happy customer of Warshaw Hardware since moving into the neighborhood in 1976. They will help you with anything, and to find anything, no matter how big or small, and have even rewired quite a few of my lamps! They have always been my only go-to hardware store all these years! read more

Had an online furniture delivery without holes, and for $5 I had pilot holes drilled expertly, and countersunk. Competent, good selection of stuff, and makes it easy get things handled in the city! read more

Yesterday I stopped by, as I often do, to say hi..gab a little..and get some washers and springs to fix my trusty shopping cart, Rocinante. It wasn't that busy at the store, so Richard (the handsome brother with the wooden beads) offered to see to it, right then and there. What a guy. In about ten minutes he had my 'cochito'...stable on its wheels and, fine. As I was leaving, a man held the door for me. He had a lamp in his hand, my guess - in need of repair. Warshaw is one of the few places that still even do this type of work, and provide a rare, heartwarming level of service. Bravo to Carl and Eddie and the Warshaw clan for their decades of caring, and being such a bright star in our part of the City. Also, for continuing to hold out against the RELENTLESS NEW YORK REAL ESTATE STEAMROLLER - which of course, is regularly sniffing around their property. read more

love this place. It has been here forever and they are nice and helpful. The owner is a riot, and I like to support small, local, businesses. They don't have everything, but they have a whole lot packed into a little space and they defiantly do their best to accommodate you. read more

This is the kind of neighborhood hardware store that unfortunately doesn't exist anymore in a lot of the USA. A place that's been there for generations, run by a couple of good-natured, wise-cracking brothers (cousins?) who can figure out your problem, and the cheapest way to fix it. It's really just for hardware, not home furnishings, since it's miniscule by Home Depot standards. read more

I was undertaking a wood table refinishing project that was a bit over my head, but I brought my list of supplies into the shop and told the guys what I was trying to do--not only did they walk me around to help me show me the different products from my list, but they explained their different uses and which types were optimal for different things. And even though they didn't have one of the more obscure products on my list, they ordered it for me right then and there so I could come pick up in a few short days. Loved the help and expertise! read more

I went in to see if I could buy some obscure bits to mount a deck on a parapet. It was a long shot, and as I spoke with the patient owner, we both realized that the stuff I needed was too obscure really for any hardware shop. But he was fantastic, knowledgeable, personable, and gave me great advice. I'd go back there in a heart-beat for any general hardware needed. The place was really well stocked with reasonable prices, especially for how small all shops are in Manhattan. A big thumb's up. read more

I brought two vintage lights here to get rewired after another place had kept them for a month and said they couldn't do it. They explained to me what they would do to fix it and for one of the lights had to rebuild part of it. They weren't able to give me an exact quote onsite for the one that they needed to rebuild, so they called me once they had the exact pricing and asked for my approval before starting work. I was able to pick them up a week later. They looked great and my electrician was able to hang them. read more

Awesome. Classic. Great service and selection. Neighborhood family business. Very helpful and knowledgeable. read more

The customer service at Warshaw is impeccable, owner and staff are always willing to help find even the smallest part that might be needed. It does not matter if you spend $3.00 or $300.00 you are treated with care. And they DO have everything! read more

Just moved to NYC and stopped in today to get some things I needed for my apartment. The place was a bit cluttered but the staff was extremely helpful at finding me everything I needed. Bought a power drill from them and they even threw in some bits for free. Will definitely be using them for all my home improvement needs. read more

I went in to get a key duplicated, and left with a new key and hardware for hanging picture frames. Staff was super-friendly and enthusiastic. Great neighborhood store. read more

Super helpful! Came in with a stripped screw stuck in a table-leg and they removed it for me at no charge. Will be back the next time my incompetence with a screw driver leaves me in a jam read more

This place is amazing. A small mom and pop neighborhood hardware store. We had just ran over to Home Depot and needed a few extra screws and a DRILL RENTAL - yes they do daily drill rentals!!! Literally a life saver because we did not want to walk back over to Home Depot. They couldn't have been more helpful and are extremely attentive to all your handy needs! Thank you Warshaw I'll be back! read more

Warshaw is a superb old school hardware store. The owner know what they are talking about and really went out of his way to advise me with my project. You can't get the same help or experience from those chain stores. Support mom and pop! read more

Warshaw is a priceless neighborhood store. Don't let the overwhelming stock put you off - everything is in order and they can find almost anything you think a hardware store should have. I have been a customer for almost 20 years and seen other stores come and go. In a city increasingly dominated by big box and chain stores, Warshaw is the best personal hardware store you will find. read more
