Big Night may be a small shop, but it evokes dreams of dinner parties arguably bigger than most can afford to throw in this city. This shoppy shop is one that curates unique tableware, colorful decor, fancy pantry items and even exclusive custom merch. It’s like a fever dream for the culinary and home design driven young creative. Not your mother’s fancy dinner party. No fancy china, but plenty of loud and fun and expressive tableware that offer a healthy dose of personality to any kitchen or dining space. Think: colorful olive martini picks, embroidered illustrations on a table runner, color block glass straws, and candle sticks and holders in every form.
It’s the perfect shop for a housewarming gift or host gift, and to inspire your own host era. It’s also the perfect shop to pop into whenever you’re nearby, just for a dose of happy.
