You still have a few more days to catch one of the city’s most fun annual events, Canstruction. For the eighteenth year, architecture, engineering, and design firms have built amazing sculptures using cans of food and nothing else. Spread throughout the World Financial Center, the works depict all kinds of figures and scenes that are often best viewed through a camera lens to get the full effect. It runs through Monday, November 22, at 5:00, at which time all the cans will be donated to City Harvest. Although admission is free, it is suggested that everyone bring a can or two (or three or four) to contribute; last year’s total was 200,000 in New York alone, part of the fifteen million pounds of food Canstruction has raised around the world since 1992.
