Norman Kornblueth, owner of Broadway Panhandler, developed his passion for knives as an Eagle Scout. These days, he stocks one of the city’s most comprehensive selections, encompassing about 30 top brands, from the ever-popular Wusthof to Kyocera, maker of those ultra-sharp Japanese ceramic knives. An eight-inch steel cook’s knife will cost you anywhere from $34 (Mundial) to $80 (Wusthof). The staff will help you choose and show you how to hold a knife correctly with your thumb and forefinger.

Our mission this year: to hunt down not just the best but the best values in the eating, shopping, drinking, and general-consuming universe of New York. It’s quite the process, this, requiring eating and shopping and drinking (all in the name of research), followed by heated but civil discussion, and heated but less-civil discussion, until a winner emerges in each category.
