Secrets of the East River: NYC's Hidden Infrastructure by Ferry

Board the NYC Ferry for a floating lecture led by urban planner Rayn Riel, tracing the hidden water, waste, and transportation networks clustered along the East River. This small-group route from Lower Manhattan to the Bronx reveals century-old utility tunnels, trash barges, wastewater plants, and sites like North Brother Island and the Bronx River mouth. Guests receive individual earpieces to follow the commentary over the ferry's engine noise, complemented by iPad images and an intimate group size limited to nine people.
