Looking for an early-morning Valentine’s Day date that’s sure to impress leave an impression on your special someone? The sewage plant located on the beautiful famously disgusting Newtown Creek is offering special tours for the holiday.
Yes, you read that correctly. The Newtown Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant – which is the city’s largest wastewater facility and processes 1.3 million gallons each day – is opening its doors on Tuesday for a special tour of its “digester eggs” (ew that name). Monthly tours are available from its 2-year-old visitor center, but Tuesday’s tour will be an added date and will end in a Hershey’s kiss for each attendee (seriously).
Like the fancy restaurant where your date is expecting is expecting to go, the plant requires reservations. Email events@dep.nyc.gov. The tour begins at 10 a.m.
[...] Of course, if Valentine’s Day isn’t your thing, you can always spend the holiday at Greenpoint’s sewage plant. Seriously. [...]
Good Valentine’s Day post. Much rather know about this than a restaurant/bar roundup. Not.
