Your TN Transportation and Infrastructure Holiday Gift Guide: New York Edition

Last year it looked like bikes had replaced owls as the go-to item at New York's craft fairs. But this year transportation is coming into its own. And the last-minute holiday shopper looking for gifts with an infrastructure bent will be amply rewarded.

The last New York City subway token was sold in 2003. But they live on at the Brooklyn Flea, where they've been re-engineered to serve as pendants.

And then downtown at the Bust Craftacular, someone was selling jewelry and key chains made out of repurposed license plates:

But the Craftacular also had its highbrow offerings, like sterling silver bike tie tacks.

Thirsty? The newly opened REI in SoHo is catering to the locals with a subway water bottle.

But the Infrastructure Gift Purveyor of the Year Award goes to dishware vendor Fishs Eddy (admittedly not a craft fair) where one can purchase a ceramic parking ticket tray:

And you can toast 2012 with glassware emblazoned with the Lincoln Tunnel mosaic that marks the New York/New Jersey state line:

And, of course, eat your cereal out of bowls with iconic city bridges:

But you might still want to get back to basics and drink your morning caffeine out of a bike mug.

But don't hoist the mug while wearing your Kate Spade taxi mittens (spotted at the Flatiron District Kate Spade store.)
