Here's a must-buy for all you NYC-architecture nerds: a manhole doormat made out of recycled tires! FLAXart has models for New York City, London, and Paris-- so if you've got friends overseas, this might make a nice gift. You can also buy the NYC version at the NYC.gov store, if you'd like to give the money to the city.
If you're not sold yet, check out these manhole links:

Pervert.
clever tho...
I am the one who actually created the NYC Manhole group on Flickr. I found that they are very photogenic, like this ConEd cover I shot the other day.
Check out our gallery of Manhattan manhole covers [Miller Samuel]. Our appraisers took these photos as they walk around Manhattan. We really spend a lot of time looking up at buildings when there's a lot of interesting art work on the ground!
Actually, we spend a lot of time looking at nothing as we rush around the city. We just take it for granted. There are things to see everywhere in the city. The photoblogs just amaze me when they show things that I never would have noticed even if I'd been walking right behind the photographer.
Someone please tell me why it is called a manhole cover..i like details..
