CANstruction

We recently celebrated Allie's birthday with her by eating dumplings from our favorite joint in ChinaTown and then heading over to the World Financial Center to get a look at the CANstruction exhibit. From their website: "Canstruction, Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that holds annual design and build competitions to construct fantastic, giant sized, structures made entirely out of canned food. In each city after the structures are built and the winners declared the creations go on view to the general public as giant art exhibits. At the close of the competitions all of the food used in the structures is donated to the local food banks for distribution to community emergency feeding programs."

There were some super creative entries!  Prepare for a photo overload.  I was going to only take photos of my favorites, but they were all so amazing!

We also got a glimpse of the new Freedom Tour being built at Ground Zero. We did not get to see the WTC memorial, so we'll have to go back another day just for that...
