No -- but I'd be willing to take the subway downtown to where there is one
on Sundays at Union Square.

What do free roaming chickens eat??

Also, anyone know why all egg containers list eggs as having the same
amount of saturated and polyunsaturated fat content despite touting them as
being high omega 3?  Do they just copy the info from the USDA government
food nutrient database or do they actually conduct fatty acid tests on
their products? (I'm grossing out at the thought of all the eggs I've eaten
over the past few years -- paid MORE for -- and they could be chock full of
exactly the fatty acids I thought I was avoiding.  Same goes for organic
poultry flesh...
