Outside Grand Central Station, Manhattan
After the success of our dumpster lido in Brooklyn — the Department of Health liked the idea but not the execution — we got an invitation from the New York City Mayor’s Office and the Department of Transportation to participate in NYC’s third annual Summer Streets. With our new friends at the DoH, we adapted the pools into street-legal, code-compliant dumpsters for swimming, and set up our first public mobile pools in front of Grand Central and the Park Avenue Viaduct.
