You can prowl the outer boroughs for discounts (we retain a soft spot for the great prices and knowledgeable service at Drimmer’s A&B on Coney Island Avenue) or the Bowery for its abundance of commercial ranges. But Gringer & Sons, in business in the East Village since 1918, has it all: high-end cooktops (a Dacor six-burner reduced to $1,075 from $1,341), ranges (a Thermador reduced to $2,650 from $3,048), dishwashers (a very cool Fisher & Paykel double-drawer model, reduced to $1,499 from $1,599), along with the de rigueur Sub-Zeros, Wolfs, Garlands, and Vikings. Gringer handles all installations, including air-conditioning. And you’ll get straight dope about the quality of each manufacturer’s post-sales service.
