IT'S UP TO YOU, NEW YORK, NEW YORK

New Yorkers have always had a love affair with the best of everything. And especially in tight times, we insist on getting the most for our hard-earned money. We buy gifts that are meant to last. We look for the best quality, not the cheapest products. For that reason we are honored to represent the gift-giving function of Smith & Wollensky steakhouses. Offered are a range of "prime grade" gifts, including signature wood-handled knives, steak sauces, salad dressings, crystal wine glasses, cocktail shakers, steak plates with warming covers, even an executive chef's coat.

BROTHER, CAN YOU SPARE A DIME?

A coin purse designed by New York artist George Skelcher provides a bit of cheer to the current economic climate. The unique purse was inspired by the sight of the city's streetcorner beggars soliciting change with used coffee cups - you know, those ubiquitous, blue-and-white, Greek diner-style cups that will forever be synonymous with New York coffee culture. Modeled closely after those same street-tough cups, the gift of a Panhandler's Change Purse becomes a witty way to distract someone you know from tough times. Scrimp and save in style.
Oval Office Chair

THOROUGHBRED FOR THE DESK SET

Desk chairs are no longer pieces of furniture bought to match a desk. A proper chair, the ergonomists tell us, is probably the single most important office tool. Anyone who sits for more than two hours a day should invest in a chair that gives support in the proper places. When John F. Kennedy moved into the White House in 1961, engineers worked with the physician who treated Kennedy for chronic back pain to design a working chair with the maximum in comfort and support. The legendary Oval Office Chair is still produced one at a time at the Trinity Company's North Carolina workshop, according to the exact historic specifications of JFK's chair. Offered is the finest example of American craftsmanship, the most stylish and comfortable chair of its kind in the world.

ALTERNATIVE TO THE TRADITIONAL GIFT

"As you get older, new experiences are harder and harder to come by, so it's pretty great to have a new experience," suggests New York writer Robert Caro. Our mission is to offer gift buyers the opportunity to give innovative and memorable life experiences as gifts. Choose from an imaginative range of Experience Gifts that provide an alternative to the usual gift. Your recipient gets the chance to create a personalized perfume, play chess with a grand master, practice sleight-of-hand with a magician, wear a personalized tattoo, go bird-watching with a field ornithologist, learn to juggle, perform stand-up on Broadway, punch the bags at Gleason's Gym, produce a short film, or learn to dance like the stars. Or, or, or. Your recipient will receive an attractive Gift Card and simple instructions for booking the experience.

FROM BAGELS TO CHEESECAKE, NEW YORK RULES

The city's most famous foods were inducted into New York Magazine's New York Food Hall of Fame at the Annual American Chefs' Tribute to James Beard gala benefit. Even though the results contained some surprises, there is likely to be little post-election controversy. Since New Yorkers are so passionate about food, the respected firm of Deloitte Touche LLP was retained to monitor the tallying of the mail-in ballots, which were available in issues of the magazine. Gift recipients can be New York expats or those who've never actually lived in the city but have come to appreciate quintessential Gotham foods.

ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE

Robert Indiana's LOVE Sculpture, a dramatic pop art piece on Sixth Avenue in mid-town Manhattan, might be the second most photographed icon in the city (after the Statue of Liberty). A couples poises after asking a stranger to take a photo that includes both lovers in front of the famous sculpture. The scene repeats itself all day long, every day of the year. Robert Indiana, an American Pop artist known for his scuptural poems, is best known for his LOVE sculpture with the tilted "O." The iconic image was initially conceived in 1968 in the form of a painting. Send your love to that special someone with this reproduction of the Sixth Avenue LOVE Sculpture, crafted in brushed aluminum.

MR. MENCKEN’S LIBRARY

One of the early bookcase sets produced by the F. E. Hale Company was sold to a young reporter for the Baltimore Sun by the name of Henry Louis Mencken, a man who became one of the most influential American writers of the 20th century. Today, the dedicated artisans of Hale take pride in continuing a 100-year-long tradition of hand-building those same stackable, heirloom-quality Barrister Bookcases, whose practicality, versatility, and classic style have never been surpassed. Sections interchange, no tools needed. Raised panels fit into rail and stile joinery frames, exactly as they were crafted for H. L. Mencken.
