The city had a party last night at South Street Seaport for Olafur Eliasson's Waterfalls. The art, design, and art patron crowds were there, trying to remember the last time they'd been to the seaport (an architecture competition launches this summer to reimagine the place). Paula Berry looked out on the harbor anticipating the big celebration next year launching the Harbor District.
Boats ran all evening to take people closer to the falls, which are entirely different spectacles at night than by day.
The parks commissioner Adrian Benepe helped himself to dessert, with no fears about donning his swimsuit today to jump in and open for the season the floating pool in the South Bronx.
