The COVID-19 pandemic, the closing of restaurants and other social spaces in an effort to contain it, and the overall uncertainty of the times has been driving people all over the world to the same place: their kitchens. Cooking websites are filled with advice on turning pantry staples into delicious meals, and The New York Times reported on people coping by stress-baking (this writer among them).
Many New Yorkers are seeing more of their kitchens than they might have imagined when they purchased or rented their homes. However, some developers and designers turned out to be especially prescient by creating dream kitchens at the happiest of times and sanctuaries during this trying one. We look at listings throughout the city featuring kitchens outfitted with the amenities and appliances many would dream of having. Maybe when the city opens up again, the owners of these apartments won't be in the same hurry to go out to eat as the rest of us!
