The shirt reads: “BINS · BRIDGES · BAGELS” with a small NYC banner underneath.
Above the wording, the Statue of Liberty holds up a bagel instead of a torch, flanked by city wheelie bins, a pile of bagels, the Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan skyline.
It is a tourist souvenir with the actual city left in. The bins are not an accident — anyone who has walked a block in summer knows they belong on the list. For New Yorkers with a sense of humour about the place, and for visitors who noticed.
