H&S has been a New York mainstay since 1848, albeit formerly as a hardware store, and they've stayed in business by carrying the "best, the only, and the unexpected" for a century and a half. All kinds of home conveniences are offered in their store—as in their catalogues—and impatient New Yorkers can get same-day delivery anywhere within the five boroughs.
