Do Go Chasing Waterfalls in New York City
Filed in archive vacation possibilities on July 7, 2008

Dilemma: You long to visit a place where you can enjoy the peaceful tranquility of a waterfall. Your significant other longs for the excitement of the big city. Now, there's no need to compromise. You can have it all. Where? In New York City!
Thanks to New York City Waterfalls , artist Olafur Eliasson and the Public Art Fund, visitors can now see four, man-made electrically-powered waterfalls in the new York Harbor.
According to their website:The Waterfalls are strategically located so that they are all visible from the South Street seaport. One will be at Pier 35 in Manhattan (just North of the Williamsburg Bridge). Another will be situated under the Brooklyn Bridge, near the Brooklyn anchorage. Brooklyn also has one - between Piers 4 and 5 (near Atlantic Avenue), and one will be placed off Governor's Island.
The falls will be on display from mid-July to mid-October 2008 as part of a public art project. Each one is 90 - 120 feet tall. The highest is almost as tall as the Statue of Liberty! Now how cool is that! They will be in operation from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM, and will be lit after sunset. How romantic!

Great post! I've only known NYC to be a concrete jungle without things like waterfalls. Once again you've turned me on to something new and unexpected. Thanx again
