Spicing Up Things Up With Replicas


When we saw these silver-plated salt and pepper shakers in the shapes of the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building, we did not ask "Why?" but simply "Does it come gift-wrapped?" This got us thinking about some other NYC landmarks/buildings that should become productized:
- Flatiron cheese grater
- Central Park Reservoir finger bowls
- Williamsburg Bank building clock
- Brooklyn Bridge magazine holder
- Lipstick building pepper grinder

The Empire State and Chrysler Salt and Pepper Shakers are $29.00. A little steep, but so cute and functional.

    There are some wonderful souvenir buildings out there...our oldest NYC is a Flatiron Bank.

  • Rob Kahn

    Restoration Hardware used to sell a beautiful cast-iron version of the Brooklyn Bridge as bookends ... don't know if they still do.

    I had a Williamsburg building piggy bank. I think my older brother stole it.

  • SHaley

    Or maybe a (obvious) Lipstick building lipstick?
