New York’s trendiest restaurant is serving you garbage (and it’s awesome)
At first, it sounds like an unresolvable contradiction: a meal that will set you back $75, and which consists almost entirely of garbage.

Two Syracuse nonprofit groups have teamed up to build tiny homes for the homeless this summer on the city's South Side. Using proceeds from this year's Crawfish Festival on May 2 in Clinton Square, the volunteers hope to construct four residences, each with just 250 square feet of living space.
