I interviewed my dauntingly brilliant friend Laila Lalami about her new novel, "The Dream Hotel," and the store was kind of an ideal venue. It was a lovely place, well designed with an intuitive layout, and tons of attractive merchandise. I spent some time browsing the furniture and housewares, and everything was tasteful, pretty, and of obvious high quality. I got a nice gift as thanks for my participation in the event, some fancy tea and a ceramic mug. I almost never want a free mug, but I really like this one. The store worked quite well as an event space. A little bar popped up in the middle of the store, and there was food set up in back. There was also, of course, an abundance of comfortable seating. Whether you're looking for furniture or hoping to host a cool event, I'd recommend Nickey Kehoe. It's a beautiful store with a lot to offer.

A very beautiful store and the description of a 'luxury home and garden' store 100% lives up to it…read more The design and layout is a nature's paradise. There's plenty of plant varieties to choose from as well as plant accessories like ceramic pots in all shapes and sizes. When you walk up to the second floor, the garden oasis continues and then in the evening, the space turns into a restaurant. I first attended Rolling Greens for their floral arrangement class which is $250 per person. It comes with a vase, all the florals, one flower food, and the needed materials to make the arrangement in glass. It also comes with wine or refreshing tea. The instructor spent the first 30ish minutes chatting about arrangements and what itesm to start with, and some simple reflexing of petals and wiring, but I do wish there was a bit more technique learned. I did appreciate them walking through each person to give advice and everyone was incredibly friendly! I was very happy to walk out with a beautiful arrangement. Transportation afterwards was a bit difficult, but now I have the vase to create something again!

Garde is one of those places where the owners are higher and mightier than thou. Upon entering,…read morenot one Hello or acknowledgement is ever given. I'm not one of those people who likes pushy or overly attentive sales staff, but this place is the total opposite. If you happen to speak to the owners - an elderly woman and man - it's your lucky day. They can hardly waste their breath to speak to you. Sometimes, you may encounter a young woman who is friendly and helpful, but they have such a high staff turnaround, she probably won't last long. It's really a shame because they do have a great curation of pieces but their attitude is so appalling that it doesn't matter how good the it is, you enter and leave with such a bad taste that you would never buy anything from them (I'll buy my Roly Poly chair from 1st Dibs, thank you). As an interior designer, I've purchased many things for clients in the past, but I truly cannot patronize them anymore.

I have never written a review on yelp before but felt compelled to do so after the worst experience…read morein a store ever a few weeks back that my client and I unfortunately can't stop thinking about. I had bought from Garde online before over the years but never been in person until they recently opened a new store here in NY. Me and my client were immediately approached by a man who introduced himself as the owner who then proceeded to follow us around the store talking all the while a dime a dozen real loud and obnoxious. Not only did we not want this it made us extremely uncomfortable, especially as he was so incredibly unpleasant about all of his clients and staff and even some of the artists they were showing. He would not go away or leave us alone did not get the hint at all. This man complained about multiple staff members to us also mentioned several very well known designers by name as being hard to work with (in his view)despite us showing zero interest in hearing it as some of these people are friends and industry peers of mine, it felt so unprofessional and indiscreet. There was a young girl working in there who must have been so awkward, she seemed friendly and polite would rather have talked to her. My client asked me if we could just leave and said she didnt want to buy anything from a place like this with such little respect for their clientele and represented artists. She is a collector and loves discovering new artists but was very upset at the lack of respect. If i sold through them I would be P*SSED at the way they talked about me as well as the buyers of my work, I have lived in NY for 20 years and never once had such a bad feeling about someone in my industry. Horrible man horrible day and I will never purchase for clients from here ever again and will advise others to do the same. What a way to run a business, great job guys

I rarely leave reviews like this, but our experience yesterday, July 31 around 6 PM, was…read moreuncomfortable and incredibly disappointing. My friend, cousin, and I were exploring Lido and had grabbed iced drinks from La La Land a few stores down because it was an extremely hot day. We popped into this store and were genuinely excited to look around. We weren't greeted or asked if we needed any help, but I honestly didn't pay much attention to that at first because I was intrigued by the inventory and enjoying looking around. As we made our way toward the back, a man approached us, I'm not sure if he was an employee, manager, or owner, and rather rudely told us not to put our drinks down on the counter. I immediately apologized. We had absolutely no issue respecting that request. My friend then asked him the price of a wallet she was interested in purchasing. He told her the price, but then proceeded to point at the wallet and say to her in an extremely condescending tone, "Do you see what you did from those sugary hands?" He continued making comments about her "sugary fingers" touching the leather. We literally gasped at his comments, her hands were not sugary or sticky. There was a tiny, pea-sized amount of condensation/moisture from holding an iced drink. Regardless, if he was concerned about the merchandise, there were countless respectful and professional ways he could have communicated that. The issue was never being asked to keep our drinks off the counter or to be careful with the merchandise, we completely understand that. It was the way he chose to speak to us. His tone and comments felt unnecessarily belittling and made all three of us extremely uncomfortable. What makes it even more disappointing is that my friend was genuinely interested in purchasing the wallet. We walked in excited to shop and instead left feeling unwelcome and talked down to. Beautiful inventory, but the way you treat people walking into your store matters. You never know who is coming in ready to make a purchase, and no customer should be made to feel uncomfortable or embarrassed simply for browsing your store. Unfortunately, the interaction completely ruined the experience for us, and we will not be returning.
