Also on Hechter’s sizzling record: dear yoga mats.
“If you’re pulling up to Corepower with an Alo mat or a Lululemon mat I know you mean business,” the influencer enthused. “You could’ve got a $15 mat from TJ Maxx, but you didn’t.”
Other objects that signalled status, per the TikTokker, embody dear Parke sweatshirts, $35 Aesop hand cleaning soap, and an in-unit washer-dryer.

Membership at a trendy fitness membership, such as Equinox or a top Pilates studio, is simiarly thought of a status image among New York’s younger elites, says the influencer, as is training for a marathon.
“I feel like saying you ran or are going to run a marathon is huge clout,” Hechter declared.
The influencer ended the record by saying that having a place outdoors of town to escape to also signalled status, as did understanding somebody who might get you into the celeb-fave restaurant The Corner Store.
However, viewers have been divided by the record, which Hechter said wasn’t meant to be taken as gospel.
“Literally spot on,” one fan fawned.

Others disagreed, including a detractor who tartly remarked: “This list is giving Ohio transplant.”
“You can’t ‘buy’ status in NYC,” another claimed. “You have to earn it through business, athletic, or academic achievement.”
“As a lifelong NYer much older than you, this is a list for Gen Z and younger,” a separate cynic sniped. “True 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.”
Hechter responded, saying she “totally agreed” with that take.
