Banksy opens pet shop in New York City

Located on 7th avenue and Bleeker in the west village.

The pet shop is open for business every day until midnight until 31 October and although people cannot buy its contents, they can walk in and view the "exhibition", Banksy's first in New York.

Artworks inside include two fish fingers floating in a fish bowl, robotic rabbits wearing pearl necklaces, a couple of chicken nuggets which appear to be sipping ketchup, hot dogs writhing underneath heat lamps and a CCTV camera nurturing its young. A middle-aged man in overalls, employed by Banksy, dragged an "Open for Business" sign on to the pavement yesterday to mark its opening.
