There's a theme going on for Valentine's Day! You may have seen my post about the Bronx Zoo offering naming Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches after your loved (or hated) ones for Valentine's Day. Now you can take a tour of Newtwon Creek Wastewater Plant on this day for lover's and...sewage??
There are tours every month but for some bizarre reason there's also a special go-around on Valentine's Day. I guess if you want people to stare when you said you went to the digester eggs in Greenpoint on Valentine's Day, that's a reason to go. In case you're wondering what the heck digester eggs are, 'cause I didn't know... Eggs that digest??? Anyway, they're the sewage plants massive digesters which breaks down detrius into a lovely gas and sludge.
If you're still iffy about taking this tour with that special someone, you do end up at the top of the digester eggs which offers a grand view of the Manhattan skyline. Oh, and if you're still not sure, the plant is giving out Hershey kisses on Valentine's Day. Just hope they didn't take a trip through the digester eggs first!
