When this company name (8-5) is mentioned, most people associate it with this very well-known American drink (9).

There is also a shipwreck named after him, apparently sunk intentionally for scuba diving.
Person: 8,5 ("s" = last letter of first name)
Company: 8-5
Drink: 9 ("s" = 7th)
Hometown: 6

So, the easy way to do this is to type "chandelier" into Google news and search -- out comes this article:
http://www.nydailynews.com/entertain...p-217234c.html
My office building is actually just blocks away from this omnipresent snowflake....
The designer is Ingo Maurer, from Germany.
The company is Baccarat in France, famous for crystal.
Didn't know that it took its name from a village.

Maybe you should head over. It's only another 3 hours... and you can catch a glimpse of Ms. SJP.
I've never heard of Ingo Maurer until today. He as quite a cool website, and next time I'm in NYC, I'll pop into his store to check it out.

You know, yk, I usually only skim enough of these articles to get the answers to the clues. 
Anyway, I don't care a thing about SJP or much about Hollywood stars in general.
agnes b is located on Greene, by the way, and there's a Le Pain Quotidien on Grand. The prices in that neighborhood also make my blood pressure rise.
