Beneath the Surface of the New York Harbor
Under about 15-feet of water out in the East River, somewhere between Brooklyn's North 10th St. and Manhattan's E. 14th, lies an old dining room table "with a Formica top and the grooved metal bands around the edge." I learned that this morning, along with the term "Hudson River Alligator" and that there are these nightmarish worms, "nearly four feet long, with little triangular teeth" that are gnawing away at our bridges.
Basically, this Secrets of the Deep feature over at NYMag is fantastic.
