PERFECTING AVENUE P

IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN AVENUE P LATELY, YOU MAY BE SURPRISED BY ALL IT HAS TO OFFER. THE PRISTINE STREETS ARE HOME TO AN ECLECTIC GROUP OF STORES, WHICH INCLUDE A SUPERMARKET, A COFFEE SHOP, A BANK, A GIFT SHOP, FLORIST AND SO MUCH MORE. HERE WE’RE HIGHLIGHTING TWO OF AVENUE P’S FINEST STORES: KITCHEN CABOODLES AND DEAR DRUGS.

KITCHEN CABOODLES

This is a home goods store with everything you need for cooking, baking and hosting a party. Located at 492 Avenue P, since 2004, you can read all about the store on Instagram at @kitchencaboodles, featuring Martha Stewart! Over the years, the store has doubled in size and the owners have opened another store in Allenhurst. They’ve also opened a mikveh on premises.

Like most other stores, Kitchen Caboodles went through a rough time when COVID hit, and have recently been shut down for a second time, due to the virus (for at least two weeks).
“We have faith that we will get through this difficult time once again,” they said, adding, “If you’re a new bride who needs a bridal registry, we’ll help! If you’re the bride’s friends, we can handle the wishing well basket. If you’re moving into a new house, we will not only help you get what you need, we will tovel (dip) it for you and deliver it to your home. If you’re planning a party, dinner or get together, we’ve got you covered with the largest selection of gorgeous and unique disposable tableware available. We’re also super helpful when it comes to organizing kitchens, closets, basements, and even laundry rooms.”

“Don’t forget to visit our 20k plus Instagram account. There’s a link to our work in progress website! So check it out, double tap and enjoy. We hope to see all of our amazing, friendly-faced customers back in person sooner than later. Until then, stay safe, stay healthy and keep cooking!”

DEAR DRUGS

Dear Drugs pharmacy has been servicing the community for close to forty years. Throughout those years we have gotten to know multiple generations in a single family. We are proud to be considered a trusted resource and even part of our patient’s families, sharing in their simchot and times of mourning.

Abe Dear started Dear Drugs in 1985 across the street from our current location. Jeff Burbank came on soon afterward giving the pharmacy two full-time pharmacists to better serve the growing community. Continuing to the next generation, Dr. Mati Dear joined them in 2001.

With Covid still around, we are here to serve you and help you any way we can. We are fully stocked with medicine, vitamins, health needs and have a full line of PPE. To help keep you safe we offer delivery and curbside service.
