Forget Niagara, Victoria, and Foz De Iguazu... this summer, the Public Art Fund has provided NYC with an even more spectacular waterfall experience. And not a moment too soon with travel prices the way they are these days. Installation/Public art sensation, Olafur Eliasson has created not one, but four monumental waterfall structures around the gateway area of the East River. They will run seven days a week, from 7 am-10 pm, June 26th through October 13th, 2008. I asked some young urban hipsters what they thought as we all gawked along the Manhattan Bridge bike path at the Pier 35 trial run... "beautiful man, just beautiful!" Oh, and, not to brag, but NFT made the vantage point map! Use it to find the best viewing spots. Visit
