  • Does anyone know where I can buy (online) the "I love (heart) NY More Than Ever" mug seen in the Muppet Christmas movie that ran on NBC around Thanksgiving. Whoopi used it to get coffee from the "offee shrub." Thanks!!


  • When in doubt, try ebay; none of the three different designs
    below sound like skermit's description though, so ...

    These have the World Trade Center towers in the background.

    Black mugs with in large letters I (heart) NY on one side and
    "MORE THAN EVER" on the opposite side.

    The saying in a repetitive small lettered diagonal pattern.


  • Hello,

    Milton Glaser designed the original logo in 1976. Last year, he remade the logo, with a wounded heart, and the words below, "More Than Ever". You can read more on the original logo and the updated one at the links below. I've seen this mug at almost EVERY gift shop and souvenier shop in Times Square and the surrounding area, but have yet to find it online. If nobody can find place by morning, I'll call a couple that I know of and ask if they can ship it country-wide. Here's hoping somebody can help you out with that part.
