The enormous complex is now being converted into residential…

Hmmmm…looks like a really weird mineral sample. The Museum of Natural History? It might even be malachite! (One of my favorite minerals. 😀 )
I have no clue, but it looks like hair on a statue. Can’t wait to learn where/what it is.
Chinatown??? some weird vegetables?? 😉
alien sexual organs? should be around the East Village then.
looks like malachite to me.

some zombie graveyard at midnight
Looks like an anemone… New York Aquarium?
Mayor Bloomberg’s wallet?

I’d have to say the mineral collection at the American Museum of Natural History.
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.

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.
