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.
