After a thirty-five-year run in Stuyvesant Plaza, Different Drummer's Kitchen Co./The Cook's Resource closed and is moving into Crossgates Mall. The move had to happen because the new owners of Stuyvesant Plaza didn't renew their lease according to the Albany Business Review. But we now know what will replace the beloved store.

Is There A Similar Store Moving Into Stuyvesant Plaza?

The short answer is, yes. However, Different Drummer's Kitchen was a staple and one-of-a-kind in Stuyvesant Plaza for more than three decades. The new store will be Sur La Table which is a cookware and kitchen goods store. They have hundreds of locations across the country but this will be the first in our area.

The plan is to open the store in Stuyvesant Plaza by the summer. They are also opening stores in Wisconsin, Connecticut, and Westchester County this spring according to the Times Union.

What Will Sur La Table Offer

Much like the Different Drummer's Kitchen, they will have cooking expertise, in-store events, demonstrations, and offer cooking classes.
