Last night, in a daring midnight operation, Northside Piers put on airs. From about 10PM until at least 3AM, NP was installing its rooftop cooling tower. The operation required a lot of very bright flood lights and a really, really tall crane. Unfortunately, being dark and four or five blocks away, this could not be captured on a point and shoot camera. So we give you here the aftermath – a view of the newly-installed cooling tower this afternoon. And after the jump, in honor of Bob at GowanusLounge, who is truly lounging this week, a special bonus view of the latest activity at Dutch Mustard and Northside Piers, all in one shot.
