NYC Insider Tip - Street Vendors
If it has a brand name, it's not authentic or real - Rolex watches, Prada purses, videos and games - all fakes. See the The New York Times article, What’s ‘Even Worse’ About Buying Fake Handbags?, about these vendors using counterfeit goods as a way to support terrorism and child labor.
What can you buy when Shopping in New York City from Street Vendors? Some things include costume jewelry, "pashminas" and scarves (3 for $10, in every color, and then you can use them as airplane blankets on the way home), leather goods, artwork, photography and any other crafts or wares clearly made by the vendor selling them.
