I went through all the Open House New York sites and only two seemed really interesting: this powerhouse on 53rd street, and the Newtown Creek Water Treatment Plant up in Greenpoint. So this morning I went up to the powerhouse— but when I showed up there were like 100 people outside, and only 20 were getting in for the tour. So I used my press pass and skipped the line, which really delighted everyone who wasn't getting in. I narrowly avoided getting strangled to death, and by the time I got inside, the tour was already well underway. So I skipped that and just walked around by myself— there were some cool dusty spots, particularly in the basement and up by the roof.
