220 W. 57th St., 212-581-4400
No matter how you define “chandelier” (crystal extravaganza? ultra-sleek minimalist tubes?) Lee’s will hit the mark; it has more than 1,000 chandeliers at its four-floor townhouse, in business since 1910. (Its curious mix of merchandise includes toys and art supplies.) A smart staff can help you choose it by fax, e-mail, or phone, but browsing is a delight. Prices start at $269 for simple three-light glass fixtures. Call for prices on the 80-inch Sonata with suspended lead crystals or the Murano-glass Venini.
Best Chandeliers
From the 2006 Best of New York issue of New York Magazine
Competition breeds the best. If only one pizzeria existed in New York, of course, there’d be no real winning slice. Thankfully, we’ll never know what that sorry situation tastes like, since pizza—like dance parties, dog runs, and fried chicken—has to evolve upward here.
