Bed Bath & Beyond

Everything you need to stock your home with basics (All-Clad pans, map-emblazoned shower curtains, 400-thread-count linens, alarm clocks) is available at these sprawling, sometimes-hard-to-navigate emporiums. Don't fret about finding a cab to haul it home: They deliver anywhere in Manhattan (as well as out to Fire Island and the Hamptons during the summer).
