Why buy tourist trinkets? Buy something the place is known for rather than junk that will eventually get thrown away.

  What is NYC known for?

    Overpriced cocktails and the arts. Neither is particularly easy to pack in a suitcase.

    I think buying artwork (or prints) from local artists is one idea. You can find them in gift shops or art shops, and can be fun things like magnets, small knick-knacks or large posters.

  I wanted clothing. I had hoped to buy "special series" made in the USA and only sold in the USA. (Converse, Harley, NYC police from their museum, etc). I love Japan for that strategy: usually they have a special serie made in Japan which is better quality (and more expensive).
