EIK

Writing & Everyday abbreviation · Classified Ad

EIK stands for Eat-in kitchen, a classified ad abbreviation also used in business.

Describes a kitchen large enough for a table and chairs, a selling point in apartment and house listings, especially in New York City and the Northeast.

Example: Renovated EIK with dishwasher, new stainless appliances and a large pantry.

Usage notes

The term distinguishes roomy kitchens from the galley kitchens and kitchenettes common in older city apartments. Listings may also say "eat-in" or "kitchen with breakfast nook." There is no standard minimum size, so renters should check dimensions or photos.
