Hunting up and down Broadway and 7th Avenue in Times Square for souvenirs for family and friends has never been more frustrating. Having come to NYC for years I couldn't get over how sky high prices are for cheapy fun novelty items. When I picked up a plastic snow globe that was marked $7.99, I knew there had to be a better place to pick up a few chachkas for family and friends. Low and behold on 42nd street just above 7th there was a little marketplace reminiscent of swap meet style booths you see all over Los Angeles and other larger cities. Inside I found a great little booth with nice Hanes Beefy T, t-shirts marked 5/$10 with great silkscreened designs, fun little snowglobes for $1.99, and lots of fun enamel pins, patches, and magnets for less than $2. Have fun!
