Offer: From the collective minds of
llyfrgell and
furies comes the NYC Care Package!
Most likely to be included:
- a copy of the infamous NYC MTA subway lines
- plenty of brochures and other maps (Of Central Park, etc.)
- at least one cheesy tourist item
- one I ♥ NY t-shirt
- one mug from Zabar's
- at least one book with true NYC flavor
- pictures of Central Park in winter and in spring
- Fresh bagels from H&H Bagels (if you are overseas, this will be different, clearly)
- At least one cupcake from the famous Magnolia Bakery - no guarantees on it retaining its cupcake shape, but it's from Magnolia, and you get the frosting!
- Copies of local papers (will skip the Times and WSJ, unless requested), like the Village Voice, the paper copy of the Onion, Manhattan News, AM NY, The Metro, the NY Post, the Daily News, a copy of the Gotham Writers brochure (these are found on almost any corner)
- Postcards galore
- Broadway memorabilia is possible
- something from Canal Street
- a collection of take-out menus
- an authentic metrocard
Depending on price and personal interest, the package can include sports-related things, Broadway, something from the MoMa/Met/Guggenheim/museum of your choice, movie-related items, and anything else you might desperately want! We can also provide hard to find items like Russian candies, Listerine from the Philippines, a fortune cookie from Chinatown, etc. New York pretty much has it all!
* For authenticity purposes, some "Boston sucks" material may make its way into the box. Accidentally, you know.
