Big Night

What a cute store and lovely service. They have everything for throwing dinner parties but also gifts for yourself or others. Such nice place to also get some inspo for your next dinner party. Def a must for all hosting people!

In romantic comedies there is often that one character, usually "the best friend," who comes from Brooklyn, is quirky, colorful, has impeccable taste, and is dripping with charisma. Big Night is THAT character in store form. The place is no bigger than Carrie Bradshaw's shoe closet and is chock-full of nearly as many delights: housewares, placemats, the perfect pasta bowls (and a great cookbook to help you prepare it). There are fancy stemware options and bar tools next to sundries like dishtowels, pasta sauces, and a cooler stocked with beverages (if you happen to be passing on a warm afternoon). They have a surprisingly deep array of hostess gifts, greeting cards, candles, and kitchen gadgets, too. When I was there Quin and Claire were at the register, and they had a ton of suggestions, ultimately pointing me toward the perfect gift: a minimalist vegetable peeler that would be right at home in MoMA's design collection. They host frequent in-store pop-ups (they were demonstrating skincare products when I was there) and the vibe is always welcoming and fun. They also have another store (their first) in Brooklyn, but it's even smaller! (Side Note: Some of us remember when the village was bustling with shops like this—before they all went out of business or were replaced by one of the many Marc Jacobs shops. So, add "nostalgic" to the list of adjectives that apply here.)

The most adorable store in the village! There is a mix of vintage and new, all perfectly curated and the best place to buy a gift for yourself/anyone in your life. I had to leave before I bought everything in sight!

So disappointing! I had been wanting to visit this shop for so long and was so excited to finally stop in this afternoon (Monday, August 25th). The two people working (guy & girl) could not have been more disinterested. Barely got a lukewarm “hi” before they resumed chatting and ignored us the rest of our visit. We were the only ones in the shop the entire time. I ended up not purchasing anything because I felt so unwelcome. Sadly, Big Night was a Big No.

Cute store but just a lil overrated, still worth the visit!

this home goods store is so well curated and designed! lovely corners everywhere you go. the owner is incredibly nice too.

Kind welcoming staff, delicious items - the non-alcoholic selection is spectacular. Perfect gifts whether for a holiday, host, friend, or yourself. I have bought gifts and also “just because” for myself. They are always so nice, whether you are buying or browsing, or walking by to wave hello. A true neighbor.

Should've read the reviews, but as others have said the employees / staff all seem to have an attitude and are rude. Even if the prices are high, I could understand it being a more premium option, but to have worse service than no service really turned me off from ever coming back again.

Cute store full of various things you could use for hosting a fabulous party. The staff were friendly. I didn't buy anything, and the stuff can be overpriced but if you are hosting or attending a party, this is a good spot for something unique.
