9. Digester Egg Tours at Newtown Creek

Every year, the Newtown Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant hosts its Valentine’s Day tour of the start-of-the-art digester eggs. Who knew so many people wanted to see how sludge gets transformed into better things, but then again–could be a metaphor for romantic hopes in general. Due to popular demand, this tour is already sold out but they have already added an April date, so stay tuned on the DEP website.
