Right This Way to The Waterfalls
In case you didn’t get your fill of the Waterfalls yesterday, we’ve got one more post for ya: A reader drew our attention to these pictographs that now dot the streets in Dumbo and Brooklyn Heights. The shot above comes from the bottom of York Street and the one on the jump comes, via the…
In case you didn’t get your fill of the Waterfalls yesterday, we’ve got one more post for ya: A reader drew our attention to these pictographs that now dot the streets in Dumbo and Brooklyn Heights. The shot above comes from the bottom of York Street and the one on the jump comes, via the reader, from the corner of Henry and Clark. Makes sense—we’d guesstimate that about half the lunchtime crowd at the Pop-Up Park yesterday were European tourists.

Dear 3:30 – I wish to register a complaint about your complaint about the level of complaining around here.
I just love the fact the you people are simultaneously complaining that:
1) The waterfalls are not visually interesting, and
2) People are stopping to look at them, which is creating traffic backups.
That’s like going to a restaurant and complaining that the food is horrible AND the portions are too small. If the waterfalls are so uninteresting, why are enough people stopping to look at them that it cause traffic backups?
Seriously, you people will complain about anything. Get a life. It’s a public art project. As with all art, some people will like and some won’t. Still we’re all better off that we live in a city where energy is devoted to this kind of work. It’s part of what makes NYC a world class, fascinating city.
One, unlike Atlantic Yards the waterfalls are entirely privately funded – no public money whatsoever.
Two, if you’re concerned about pollution, don’t drive in the $%#$ing city. They haven’t impacted my commute on the subway one bit.
2:34, People are not hateful because they don’t like a specific work of public art. It is their right to express their opinion.
Get over your self-righteous self.
sorry oh 2:34.. most people like them says who??? like most people like ballet?? the price tag is not minimal if you add in the costs of pollution and gas. whos paying for that. did i mention they suck as did many posters said yesterday. just because someone tells you its art doesnt make it good. please join TDCNW now.
i’m in ur park sneezing in ur tacos.
(Note to self: remember to insert “LOL” next time)
Jesus christ! People love to hate. The waterfalls are not actually the source of everything evil. In fact, most people just like them. Yes, they’re the product of a cultural elite–most art is. The price tag is minimal, and almost completely paid for by corporate donations. Relax.
Oh yeah, I forgot, Biff is Felix Unger.
