If you're in need of a fairly inexpensive holiday gift - or are a sucker for any cute NYC tchotchke - then look no than the MUJI New York City in a Bag at the Museum of Modern Art Store.
As irresistible to adults as it is to children, MUJI's New York in a Bag comes with nine wooden city structures and six wooden cars. Included are New York City icons such as the Chrysler Building, the Statue of Liberty, the Guggenheim Museum, and MoMA's original 1939 building . The wood is from sustainable forests.At $14 (or $12.60 for MoMA members), it's a steal. We just can't figure out what the other two buildings are, though.
The NYC in a Bag is on back order, but more are supposed to come in a few weeks.

Very cool gift idea.
looks like that could be the UN Secretariat building?
I got one of these when I was in London (where there's a whole MUJI store that sells several other things in bags), and they also had some random buildings that were supposed to be used to make the city set more...city-ific. Basically, they're probably office buildings that you can set up between the landmark buildings.
That was my guess, too, ?. But where's the Empire State Building?
If Muji decides to re-design these, I'd say add the Brooklyn Bridge. But then again, that's my answer for everything.
That also happens to be on the cover of the current issue of The L Magazine.
