Does wandering around downtown Brooklyn make you think of waffles? Well, now it does. Artist Martha Friedman, a sculptor obsessed with recreating everyday objects like, yes, food, has placed a seven-foot tall waffle made of foam, resin and metal on the still-green lawns of MetroTech Commons (Curbed has this one, too).

Biff, you’re confused at what Art is?
BRG, good point. I could use this glass to fill with the water from said falls.
