Statue of Liberty postcards, terracotta fragments of landmark buildings, subway tokens, geological core samples, paint chips from the L train platform, a “very old shovel,” two-and-a-half links of a “city hall window chain,” a set of dentures found in Dead Horse Bay—these are just some of the New York City ephemera collected and displayed at the City Reliquary in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Join founder Dave Herman for a tour of his collection, where he’ll introduce you to a side of NYC history you never knew you didn’t know.
