Nuthouse Hardware 202 East 29th Street, Manhattan, New York 10016

"This is my go-to supply house (aptly named the "Nut House") during those odd hours when no other options exist and I just can't wait until normal business hours to make household repairs, paint walls or fix an appliance. It's the only place in NYC where you can shop for hardware supplies, tools and a variety of useful household products anytime, day or night. This massive and extensive hardware store is open 24/7 365 days per year. As far as I know, there is not a single other hardware store or supply house open after 9pm anymore in Manhattan. For those of us who work late, or on occasion find ourselves in need of spare parts to make a late night repair, we're blessed to still have this expansive builder's paradise – each square foot packed with every conceivable piece of hardware. Need a wrench to fix a leak at 2am, no problem, Nuthouse has you covered. Flat tire, broken lamp, damaged table, burst pipe, wall repair, you name it, this place will have what you need. My car once got a flat at midnight during a terrible rainstorm and after calling AAA I was given an estimated arrival time of 3 hours. I just happened to be near Nuthouse and was able to purchase a can of Fix-a-Flat, an electric tire pump (the type powered through a car cigarette lighter outlet) and rain poncho. 15 minutes later I had a usable inflated tire and I was able to get to my destination outside of Manhattan with only a minor delay. The staff at Nuthouse are generally quite knowledgeable and have always been able to answer my questions no matter how obscure. They're also good at suggesting the appropriate material and equipment for a given project. They do charge premium on many items (typically 25% more than you can buy the same item elsewhere), but that's to be expected with the overhead of being open 24 hours a day. A reasonable convenience fee from my perspective If you're a construction and repair fanatic like me, be careful not to get lost in this builders architectural delight!"

"This is definitely the place to order from if you want them to take your money, refuse to answer emails, promise to call with an update by the end of the day and fail to do so (a week after you ordered anything), refuse to take any further calls, and ultimately fail entirely to ship the products you ordered. If that's not what you're in the market for, maybe go somewhere else."

"Went to get a hose attachment for my dog washing device. At first the guy told me no. But I knew they had it cause it’s a plumbing nipple, which I know for sure they have to carry. So I asked if he can find out for sure. Sent me downstairs to caffy! Great guy!! He saw my device and open a draw of dozens of attachments. In one pick he chose the right one! Impressive. Caffy is the man!!!"

"Nut House is the best! Open 24/7 and has saved us in a few situations where we absolutely needed tools for repairs or cleanups at odd hours. The prices are very fair and the staff are super helpful with questions and suggestions - Devon recently helped me diagnose and fix an issue in my apartment. Nut House is always my first stop when I need hardware, cleaning supplies, or tools."

"This place had saved me a lot of headaches and helped me to get the job done at times when no other hardware store was opened in Manhattan. Every business should have at least one place or office opened 24 hours 7 days a week service. Another two reasons for my 5 star review are helpful, knowledgeable salesmen and pricing in general is within range. Obviously, having an option of buying online or from a big department store like Home Depot or Lowes, there is no doubt you'll find cheaper prices than a small store. The clear advantage is to have a hardware store available 24/7 in Manhattan. Great for businesses, especially general contractors as this store provides all kinds of emergency materials for plumbing, electrical, and construction in general. Also great for anyone looking to have a key copy done at any time of the day. I also took some pictures so you can recognize the store when you're passing by the 29th street from 2nd Ave to 3rd Ave. It's not easy to spot the store from the street due to some outside scaffolding/construction work. I hope you find this review helpful."
