New York City is selling limited batches of its four best-selling street signs from its monthly \u201csign drops<\/a>,\u201d giving New Yorkers a chance to bring a piece of the city home for the holidays. Department of Transportation Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez announced<\/a> that starting Tuesday, the agency will release four of its most popular street signs, the first on Tuesday, followed by drops on Wednesday, November 26, November 28, and December 1. Two signs released so far\u2014\u201cLeaving Brooklyn Fuhgeddaboutit\u201d and \u201cGay Street\u201d\u2014are already sold out, while \u201cWelcome to Queens\u201d and \u201cCornelia Street\u201d will be available on CityStore<\/a> on November 28 and December 1, respectively.<\/p>\n The DOT began its monthly sign drops in June 2024<\/a>, allowing customers to purchase and hang an authentic piece of the city on their walls. The signs are produced at DOT\u2019s Sign Shop in Maspeth, Queens, which manufactures over 70,000 signs annually. <\/p>\n A team of 32 employees handcrafts a variety of street, highway, directional, and parking signs. Currently, there are over two million NYC DOT signs in use across NYC\u2019s 6,000 miles of streets, as 6sqft previously reported.<\/p>\n Just in time for the holidays, the sign drops give you a chance to make a special New Yorker in your life (including yourself) very happy. This release is extremely limited, with only 25 signs available online for $100 each, and a limit of one per customer. Interested buyers should be ready at 10 a.m. sharp on drop days.<\/p>\n \u201cHere\u2019s your sign to begin your holiday shopping,\u201d Rodriguez said. \u201cAs we approach Black Friday and Cyber Monday, we are re-releasing small batches of our fastest-selling signs. These fan favorites will sell out quickly, so act fast while remembering to drive slowly.\u201d<\/p>\n The drop on Friday, November 28, \u201cWelcome to Queens: \u2018The World\u2019s Borough,’\u201d was first released in July 2025, paying tribute to one of the 12 original counties of the Province of New York in 1683 and now the nation\u2019s most diverse county.<\/p>\n \u201cCornelia Street\u201d will drop on Monday, December 1. First released in August 2024, the sign celebrates the street\u2019s place in pop culture; superstar Taylor Swift once rented a home on the Greenwich Village street and name-dropped in her 2019 song \u201cCornelia Street<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n This rerelease marks the third time the Cornelia Street signs have been sold. In December 2024, the DOT offered another batch<\/a> of authentic signs to coincide with the pop star\u2019s birthday.<\/p>\n
