Ever Wonder What's In Marty Markowitz's Desk?

Brooklyn Borough president Marty Markowitz has an idiosyncratic collection of nick-knacks and memorabilia saved from his years in office, including shovels from ground-breakings, the Ebbets Field home plate, and a guitar from Hippiefest. Plus a bird that can say 100 words, including "fuhgeddaboudit." (Presumably that counts as one word.)

See photos of part of his collection at City & State.
