My wonderful husband has given my daughter and me a summer trip to NYC. His only request was to find a couple of T shirts to add to his collection. He doesn't want Hard Rock or I Love NY or NYPD, etc., preferring bars or restaurants with unusual pictures or slogans. Can you help me out with some places that I might be able to find something like this? Thanks in advance!

My Husband got a T-Shirt he loves from a local bar in Hell's Kitchen.

I believe it was called Rudy's. After we had been there the night before (we walked from the Warwick) he actually went back teh next morning just to get a shirt. It really was neat, local, experience!!

Let me know if you want more shirt details or directions, I will get them from my Husband.

ps. dont disregared the I Love NY shirts, they are only 5 bucks and even if you never wear it, it was neat to buy something "cheap" from a street vendor

not really what you asked, but if your hubby collects T shirts with unusual pictures or slogans check out www.tshirthell.com have some pretty funny ones..some in terrible taste, but some a real hoot...for those easily offended..you might pass..

Fashionable New Yorkers buy their tee shirts at H&M. Also try Urban Outfitters.

Don't know about NY tee shirts, but we were in Key West last weekend and found some pretty funny shirts:

3 Margaritas $15
2 Shots $10
4 Beers $12
Taking home the girl who drank all of the above? Priceless!

Who are all these kids following me and why are they calling me "Daddy"???

Hope you find a good tee-shirt for your hubby!

Carib Ruby--The T shirt that you suggested from Rudy's might be just the thing. He tends to like those from pubs and restaurants. He finally retired one from a restaurant called Stroud's in Kansas City. On the back it said "we choke our own chickens". Please give an address. Thanks!

Rudy's Bar &Grill
9th Ave at 44th Street
Hell's Kitchen NYC

Hope this helps

In the 20 plus years of traveling we have always bought a few t-shirts and they've piled up...Recently we took our favorites and had them made into a large quilt...that would be a great surprise for him. No, I don't know how to do it, but others do.. Surprisingly enough pre-birds...the parrot t-shirts from ALL our tropical vacations were the ones that brought back so many memories..

There is a monthly storage company here in NYC that sell t shirts that say, very plainly on the front "I Need My Space". I think its called the Manhattan Storage Company.
