What model best represents new visions and values of New York City? Cast your vote today for the new icons of New York and influence which souvenirs will represent the city next. The top three winners will be presented to the Mayor Bill de Blasio as New York City's newest icons.
Icons will be selected from The Storefront for Art and Architecture's exhibition Souvenirs: New New York Icons, open through December 9th. This is the second iteration of Storefront’s model show and includes commissions of 59+ objects that redefine New York's iconic imagery. Drawing inspiration from each of the city's Community Districts, over 59 architects, artists, and designers have reimagined the referential images forming the global perception of the city and have proposed new understandings of the urban experience.
Vote for your top three icons here.

The Scrabby seems kind of brilliant -- is this intended as a toy-like version of the union rat? Would be better as a plush toy, maybe. Strong statement on 21st C. NYC.
how bout a bearded prick with a trust fund doll?
