Where is Botoxia, Bronxistan, and Blahniks? Maira Kalman at the Jewish Museum

I was recently at the Jewish Museum in NYC. I particularly wanted to see the Maira Kalman exhibit. She is primarily an illustrator, and did a charming version of ELEMENTS OF STYLE.

This show also had some odd but intriguing installation elements-ladders, shoes, buckets, even some old onion rings. Of particular interest to me were the embroidered samplers with snippets of poetry–sort of post modern aphorisms.

My sister and I got hysterical in front of the map of NYC with places like Botoxia on it. Here from Wikipedia is a list of the places:
The map itself is drawn by Rick Meyerowitz
