Don't Go Chasing Waterfalls, Unless it's these!

If you only do one more culturally enriching activity this fall make sure it's to go see these man-made Waterfalls! There are 4 housed in the East River and at night the views are breathtaking, these waterfalls are between 90-120ft tall, as tall as the statue of Liberty!

I also highly recommend viewing them via bike, the total trip took me about 2 hours and it's a lovely way to see the city at night. You get to ride over both the Brooklyn & Manhattan bridges and you guessed it, it's free this way. Circle Line also does a 30 minute boat ride for $10 and shows you all four but I'm telling you via bicycle is the best way.

The journey was the most enjoyable part of this for me as I discovered each waterfall as treasure on my route.

The Public Art Fund worked with the city to map out the best bike route with maps + detailed directions all available here. Best part.. the entire bike route is marked on the streets with waterfall images and arrows to guide you during the trip.

I had a great time and never got lost, plus I got some incredible views of NYC skyline at night. Totally worth it, beg, borrow or buy a bike in order to take advantage of these free works of art, you'll thank me for it.

Here's the info, but hurry these are only available until October 13, 2008
