Simplora

Kitchen supply shops in Washington Heights tend to serve a mix of home cooks and small restaurant owners, and Simplora fits neatly into that rhythm. The store handles the basics—pots, pans, utensils—without the frills of a big-box retailer. Up near 174th Street, it’s one of those spots where the sidewalk traffic moves fast, but the storefront stays steady. People stop in for practical things: a replacement peeler, a sturdy cutting board, or a stack of takeout containers. The neighborhood has a way of keeping businesses grounded, and a kitchen supply place here doesn’t need to be flashy to be useful.
