First to recommend

For natives, transplants or admireres of New York. This simple ceramic cup captures the essence of a ubiquitous item familiar to virtually all Gotham dwellers. This Iconic "We Are Happy To Serve You" paper cup design has been around since the sixties and hundreds of millions have been used every year.

Rendered in a more permanent material, these cups are smart and a little ironic. For anyone who had one of these on the street, it takes a while to get used to how real this one feels.

Microwave and dishwasher safe... what else would you expect from a tough city like New York?

Great recommendation! I love how well-thought-out it is... it helps me connect to the mug... even though a friend of mine has one and I'm used to seeing it!

New York city-centric coin purse started off as an exhibit in a New York art gallery, although its origins are much humbler. NYC artist George Skelcher inspired to create the purse after seeing Bowery beggars using the paper cups to panhandle for change. The design is modeled closely after the original NY Coffee Cup, featuring an accurate rendering of the Greek diner motif. Well-constructed of durable, printed leather, the purse closes with a sturdy brass zipper, measures 4-inches tall, 4-inches across at top, and 2-inches deep.
