The project, commissioned by the Public Art Fund and presented in collaboration with the City, is on display through October 13, 2008. It features four 90- to 120-foot-tall waterfalls installed along the East River: one at Pier 35 in Manhattan, north of the Manhattan Bridge; one on the Brooklyn anchorage of the Brooklyn Bridge; one between Piers 4 and 5 in Brooklyn adjacent to the Brooklyn Heights Promenade; and one on the north shore of Governors Island. The Waterfalls flow daily from 7am to 10pm (and on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9am to 10pm) and are lit after sunset.

Viewing
The New York City Waterfalls are visible by land and boat, from multiple vantage points from Manhattan, Brooklyn and Governors Island. Dedicated boat journeys to view the exhibition, organized by the Public Art Fund in partnership with Circle Line Downtown, leave from Pier 16 in Manhattan and provide up-close views of the installations. Free and discounted trips available daily.

In addition, the free Governors Island Ferry—which runs every Friday, Saturday and Sunday for the length of the project—and the free Staten Island Ferry offer great opportunities to see the Waterfalls. Check out other recommended viewing sites and bike routes along the waterfront.
