If the Mexican joint on your block knows your phone number by heart and the potential names for your first born child by now, consider retiring the tacos for a night. Instead, check out the Chinatown Garbage Tour. It's sure to curb your appetite and may even save you from buying meals for a solid 2 days. Free of charge, the interactive tour starts on the corner of Canal and Lafayette beginning at 9 tonight. Nate Hill, a street "artist" and "rogue taxidermist," digs through dumpsters and creates sculptures out of, well, caracasses. Be warned, Hill describes the event as a chance to partake in "appetizers and haphazard display of how to put animals together in the ground." Bring the Pepto.

Plovgh, the new online farmers market
Who knew that the farming world had a trend? Well, Mallory Sustick, a Brooklyn bartender, works like a dog to maintain, promote and advance the online farmer's market startup Plovgh that began after noticing a need for more local farm market distribution.

the landlord's labradoodle created a sculpture for me by digging out a mummified rat and allowing me to think it was a piece of turf, thus, when we went to playing tug o'war.... she left me with part of said rat. i'll pass on this, thanks.
