New York Souvenir Wholesale & Retail

Mott Street has long been the spine of Manhattan’s Chinatown, lined with shops that supply both locals and travelers. Among them is New York Souvenir Wholesale & Retail, a storefront at 60B that keeps the neighborhood’s gift economy humming.

Visitors often stop here after wandering past the dumpling counters and bubble-tea stands; the address—60B Mott Street, New York, NY 10013—places it just steps from the subway and a short walk from Columbus Park. The selection reflects the area’s layered identity: I ♥ NY keychains share shelf space with miniature pagodas and silk fans, all priced for impulse buys.

Tour groups and last-minute shoppers tend to cluster around the same bins; one glance reveals why. Snow globes of the Statue of Liberty, embroidered patches of the Brooklyn Bridge, and tiny plastic taxis spill across the counters, each item small enough to tuck into a carry-on. The store also stocks wholesale quantities, so restaurant owners and hotel concierges swing by for bulk orders of chopstick sets and fridge magnets.

Directions can be pulled up on any phone; the map leads straight to the door. When questions arise, dial no phone listed—though most transactions here move faster than a subway swipe.
