Also on Hechter\u2019s hot list: pricey yoga mats. <\/p>\n
\u201cIf you\u2019re pulling up to Corepower with an Alo mat or a Lululemon mat I know you mean business,\u201d the influencer enthused. \u201cYou could\u2019ve got a $15 mat from TJ Maxx, but you didn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
Other objects that signalled status, per the TikTokker, include pricey Parke sweatshirts, $35 Aesop hand soap, and an in-unit washer-dryer. <\/p>\n

Membership at a fashionable fitness club, such as Equinox or a top Pilates studio, is simiarly considered a status symbol among New York\u2019s young elites, says the influencer, as is training for a marathon. <\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like saying you ran or are going to run a marathon is huge clout,\u201d Hechter declared. <\/p>\n
The influencer ended the list by saying that having a place outside of the city to escape to also signalled status, as did knowing someone who could get you into the celeb-fave restaurant The Corner Store. <\/p>\n
However, viewers were divided by the list, which Hechter said wasn\u2019t meant to be taken as gospel. <\/p>\n
\u201cLiterally spot on,\u201d one fan fawned.<\/p>\n

Others disagreed, including a detractor who tartly remarked: \u201cThis list is giving Ohio transplant.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t \u2018buy\u2019 status in NYC,\u201d another claimed. \u201cYou have to earn it through business, athletic, or academic achievement.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a lifelong NYer much older than you, this is a list for Gen Z and younger,\u201d a separate cynic sniped. \u201cTrue NY City status is based on generational wealth, achievement, charitable contributions and an apartment (Co-op or Condo) in an impossible to get in building.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hechter responded, saying she \u201ctotally agreed\u201d with that take. <\/p>\n
