The winter months have officially become our busy season, thanks to parties, presents, and prepping for your best 2020 self. Whether you’re hosting cocktail hour or throwing a low-key night in, there are plenty of opportunities to celebrate this season — so long as your kitchen is adequately stocked. We get it: Your Lower Manhattan studio can fit roughly 5 ½ people at one time, so ambiance and aesthetic have become your best friends. Our advice? Invest in some stunning (and high-quality) kitchen essentials that work for both everyday dining, or decidedly swankier occasions, all year long.
Enter: Kate Spade New York and the beautifully classic collection that’s here for any and all at-home entertaining. Shop some of our favorites and must-haves for this season and beyond, below.
