Following the publication of the Cut’s cover story last week, New Yorkers took to social media to show off their own New York–specific merch. Whatever you want to call it — we dubbed it “Zizmorcore” — we can all agree that there’s a certain flavor of New York souvenir that feels unique to the city. Maybe it’s a tote from the local coffee shop you never want to go out of business or a tattered hat from a roller rink you loved that closed decades ago. These items are all over; you just have to know where to look. (Or how to barter — one person said they once bought a Peter Luger hat off a parking-lot attendant.)
Below we’ve culled some of the collectibles New Yorkers shared from their own closets, from a decade-old Sammy’s thong to a hand-painted Pearl Paint sweatshirt. Thanks for sharing!
