Taiwanese media artist Yu Cheng-Ta explores the cultural phenomena of social media influencers and food trends by tracing, through live and video performances, the attempts of a fictional Taiwanese farmer to promote durian in New York (good luck!). Thursday night, there's a grand reveal in Times Square.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: How nice that the tres lovely all-day café La Mercerie is right around the corner from the Soho site. To my taste, their Crêpe Complète is one of the best dishes in New York. Around Times Square Thursday night, the tacos at Los Tacos No. 1 are just great.
