Waterfalls are coming to New York City. This is likely to be the biggest city attraction in the summer of 2008. A series of waterfalls are being installed in the East River at the following locations:
- The Brooklyn Anchorage of the Brooklyn Bridge;
- Between Piers 4 and 5 in Brooklyn Heights;
- Lower Manhattan at Pier 35 (north of Manhattan Bridge);
- The North Shore of Governors Island.
The falls will be on display from June 26th to October 13th, 2008. You can get a good view of the spectacle by taking either the Staten Island or Governors Island ferries. Both ferries are free so the experience will be light on the pocket book.
The project was designed by Olafur Eliasson and is being financed by the Public Art Fund. More information and photos are available at http://nycwaterfalls.org and via the press release.
