Banksy In NYC

Be sure to visit the “Village Pet Store And Charcoal Grille”.  UK Street Artist Banksy delivers us his first authorized show this month.  It can be found on Seventh Ave (aka Varick) just north of Bleeker on the east side of the street.

Lots of caged sausages and a monkey going human join a family of closed circuit cameras and a dolled up bunny, not to mention some cute McNuggets and Swimming Fish Sticks.  Banksy’s anti-consumer humanist humor is not lost on our son who ranks the phantom artist at the top of his list.  Is Banksy the next Pokemon?

We suggest you take advantage of “no school” today and tomorrow and go by when the Pet Store opens at 10A. You will miss the crowds that way. Or since it’s open until midnight, maybe you can stay up past your bedtime and wander in late.

Don’t you just love New York?!!
