Congratulations on the new home! Of you are keeping the existing kitchen, you can get away with installing around the cabinets but you will have to put shoemolding at the toe kick to hide the seam, and helps the floor stay in place.

Wood in a kitchen is a very popular choice. You didn't mention "solid" vs. Engineered...but the engineered is the most common in kitchens.

Tiles are still fully acceptable in kitchens and are the "go to" floor in splash-prone areas. Today's trends are moving towards a single, continuous floor on each level. The two exceptions to the rule are: kitchens and bathrooms (and by extension = laundry rooms).

Have a look at the WHOLE picture and decide if you want to continue the wood in to the kitchen vs. add the tile. If you put the wood THROUGHOUT the ENTIRE HOUSE you are more than welcome to put tile into the kitchen.

The opposite is true: if you have only a small amount of wood going in (like living room, dining and hall) and other areas have carpet (like bedrooms, stairs, etc) or tiles (entranceways, bathrooms, laundry, etc), then I would run the hardwood through the kitchen to reduce the amount of floors.

The fewer flooring products in a home, the more cohesive it feels. It is also a "higher end" look.
