Champagne And Caviar

December 23, 2008 1:04 PM Filed Under: NEW YEARS  Q & A 

We're having some friends over for New Year's Eve and I need about two dozen champagne glasses (don't want to use plastic). Where can I get some cheap? And where's a good place to buy caviar? Thanks.

Head straight to Ikea and buy yourself a couple dozen boxes of their champagne flutes. They're like $1 each so no worries if anyone gets a little tipsy! For caviar, make a pilgrimage down to Russ and Daughters on the Lower East Side. They have more varieties than you can imagine--the wasabi caviar is a fave. Note--if you order in advance you can probably get it delivered.
