Garbage Plate
This unique mashup of ingredients is widely regarded as Rochester’s signature dish.
A traditional Garbage Plate is your choice of cheeseburger, hamburger, white or red hot dogs, Italian sausage, chicken, or grilled cheese, served on top of any combination of home fries, french fries, baked beans, and/or macaroni salad. The plate is usually topped with a Rochester-style meat “hot sauce.”(Utica has something similar, but for breakfast, called a giambrotte, which is a stew anywhere else. Highly recommended tho.)

The Clock
by Christian Marclay.
A Day reminded me of this.
The Clock is a looped 24-hour video supercut (montage of scenes from film and television) that feature clocks or timepieces. The artwork itself functions as a clock: its presentation is synchronized with the local time, resulting in the time shown in a scene being the actual time.
MFA Boston owns a copy, and they are way, way overdue to show it again.
It is mesmerizing, I've seen about 20 hours of it, but not midnight, so this wikipedia image is like torture.
The Life and Death of Planet Earth
by Peter D. Ward and Donald Brownlee
“The life on planet Earth is depicted as a clock.
At 4 a.m., the first animals and plants appear.”
