NYCkayaker Brooklyn Bridge Waterfall this Summer

[Graeme Birchall]

In late October every year there is an event called the "Uptown 
Treasures" when all of the museums and other special places in Upper 
Manhattan (including the High Bridge Water Tower) are open to the 
public.  A shuttle bus is provided so one can do a tour.

The date for 2008 has not yet been set, but the following website is the 
place to check:
