In Chinatown, he is lashed to display racks in front of shops selling New York City-themed cooking aprons or “Got Weed?” T-shirts; in Brooklyn, he’s a frequent presence on the tabletops of sidewalk sellers. He might be blue, or orange or tie-dye, or even wearing a little Santa hat and Christmas scarf.
