Devin and Andy visit The Locavore Variety Store in the West Village, Manhattan: a shop where nearly everything for sale is made within 100 miles. Is the artist as pencil sharpener present? Is the pencil the last honest object? Is there room for a nut company that doesn't use suggestive nut puns? What weird things do people want to do with/to a barrel of pickles? Do we need a movement to bring back the community bulletin board? Who is using the tester lip balm??
