Rex's Dino Store
Located just before the turnstiles in the Grand Army Plaza subway station at the north end of Brooklyn's Prospect Park is this former newsstand which is now operated by a dinosaur.
Rex stands proudly behind the counter, advertising NEWS • ROCKS • EGGS • LEAVES • STICKS • NEST GOODS • LOTTO.
Every inch of his newsstand is occupied by dinosaur puns. There are Clawmond Joy bars, Alka-saurus tablets, Ultra Ribbed dur-rex cloaca dams, Meteor Millions scratch cards, and Meteor particle filter disposable snout masks.
Publications include Dinopolitan, Eater's Digest, The Pangaea Times, and the Maul Street Journal - headline: "Embattled Mayor Vows to End Pangaea Separation".
There's even a poster advertising Steg Yun.
Rex’s NYC Dino Store is a public art project led by Akiva Leffert and Sarah Cassidy, made possible by the MTA's Vacant Unit Activation Program.
