New York City Yellow Checker Taxi Ornament: A quirky gift for friends, family, or your own holiday collection!

 

Checker Cabs have been zipping around NYC since 1922, becoming iconic city fixtures. At their peak, there were over 9,000 Checker cabs cruising the streets. From horse-drawn carriages to today’s hybrids, New Yorkers have always relied on cabs, but none are as legendary as the boxy Checker. Fun fact: the first one rolled off the assembly line in Kalamazoo, Michigan, on June 18, 1923.

 

There’s no place like NYC during the holidays! So, hail a yellow cab and swing by the Museum of the City of New York on Fifth Avenue at 103rd St. (Ramp access at 104th St.) for a festive and informative visit.
