Behold this amazing miniature of Mars Bar

EVG contributor Stacie Joy spotted Danny Cortes today on Third Street and Avenue B... carrying his amazing miniature of Mars Bar (RIP 2011, Second Avenue and First Street). 

Cortes was showing the work before shipping it off to its new home. (And we're not sure how realistic the restrooms were inside this model!) 
The Times recently profiled the miniature/diorama artist. Read the article here.
