Last weekend, on our way back from a run across the Williamsburg Bridge, Megan and I stumbled across a real oasis in the middle of McCarren Park...a fountain of San Pellegrino...and it was free. What could be better after a long, hot run? And it certainly beats drinking out of the mono-infected and muddy water fountain. We laid down on the mats and let the cool, sparkling mineral water drip down the back of our throats.
We soon found out that this San Pellegrino oasis was not in fact New York City's way to spend the excess budget money, but was part of a larger exhibition of artworks that all revolved around the concept of water called "WET".
We saw this amazing obelisk made out of ice that was slowly disappearing.
Two giant schwetty balls with a fountain. Clearly symbolic of something.
This was a baby pool filled with rubber gloves. I had a sudden urge to jump in and get felt up.
These mylar balloons tied to blocks of ice were my favorite. As the heat of the day melted the ice, each balloon floated away.
You never know what you're going to come across in this city. You could be running in your neighborhood one day and come across a really cool art exhibition or maybe 1,000 Santas.
