It's not local, and I can't sustain regular shopping there on my income, but MoMA Store still wins my heart (and money) with their sleek kitchen toys.� The new fall catalog has me wishing for a fianc�e, soley for the wedding registration possibilities.

Clockwise from top left: Once you get a nice table, you need a nice trivet.� This Alessi crinkled, stainless-steel number ($70) can be flipped to keep small or large hot pots a safe distance above the tabletop.� Add clear elegance to the coffee ritual with Liz Dubois' glass half-pint creamer; giftable at $14.� Speaking of gifts, this pair of inside-out champagne flutes ($65) is both striking and sensible: the double layer of mouth-blown borosilicate glass has an insulating effect on the bubbles within.� A silicone pig lid from Destination: Japan ($18) can be placed directly over ingredients in a pot or microwave; steam vents through the swine's snout.

Members of the Museum of Modern Art get 10 percent off non-member prices; all the more reason to join up and see the James Ensor's 1891 painting, Skeletons Fighting over a Pickled Herring, before it departs September 21 for the Mus�e d'Orsay, Paris.

I had to kill sometime in midtown Manhattan a week or two ago. After eating at the (real) Halal Guys truck (thanks Dan Delaney!) I wandered into the MoMA store. Had to fight the urge to buy all their swell kitchen gadgets. My favorite is the combo spoon/fork for eating Ramen:
