Tour Newtown Creek

The Working Harbor Committee is setting up another one of their Newtown Creek Cruises for September 14th. It's pricey--$50--and weirdly leaves from 23rd Street in the city, but highly recommended. I went up the Creek with the Urban Divers a few years back and it was a really intense experience. Some parts of it are unrecognizable as water, and then in other spots you can see little piers and things that hint of how great it would be if this waterway were cleaned up and accessible to people, not just corporations.

Get the info here.
