Many visitors like to visit Canal Street for "cheap" sunglasses, watches, scarves ("Burberry" nova check pattern), etc.
(Please, no temper tantrums about "illegal" goods. Many/most of the goods are not "knock-offs" and are perfectly legal. And let he (or she) who is without sin cast the first stone anyway, okay? You do exceed the speed limit, huh? Jaywalk?)

Speaking of the Little Brown Bag from Bloomie's, they have a whole series of Bloomingdale's brand gifts, including a tote bag that looks like the Little Brown Bag. Fun way to remember a trip. Here's a link:

I'm sure Macy's has many of the same type of items. Both stores usually have unique Christmas ornaments with store logos on them.

ABC Carpet/Home is across from Fishs Eddy. Sort of. Down a bit.
I know you want one of those kaffiyehs that Yassir Arafat wore on his head. Drape one around your neck and you will be the picture of Breakfast Club chic.

I used to like the Second Avenue Deli, but I haven't been there in years. Here are some ideas:

I bought a frame from a flea market in Chelsea and then a black and white photograph of Central Park in the winter at a street fair outside the Museum of Natural History-put them together and the perfect reminder sits in my kitchen.

There are some really great (imo) things at the gift shop in the Met Museum, especially for this time of year. There are great calendars, diaries/agendas, t shirts, books about NYC, coffe mugs etc.
