Candy, Cobblers, and Revolvers

Chinatown??? some weird vegetables?? 😉
alien sexual organs? should be around the East Village then.
looks like malachite to me.

sea asparagus ( http://www.mistymt.com/specialty/salicornia.shtml )? So maybe a grocery store like Whole Foods or something?
I think is a florist sponge. So in a flower shop.
Looks like the end of a steel cable from a suspension bridge or elevator that has been melted. Could it be from World Trade Center?
Rubin Art Museum – Statue of buddha
my first thought was a statue, but I went to the Met. But I can’t figure out of what because the photo creeps me out! Eeps.
sorry meant to say “…but I went to the Met (not the Rubin)”
I’ll guess Takashimaya.

The Statue of Liberty’s underarm hair? (she IS French)
I live in the south, but it is copper wire. Looks like a cable that has weathered outside for sometime.
