At least one of you dear readers was intrigued and then ticked off by the Ritz-Carlton Battery Park's package centered on the NYC Waterfalls, artist Olafur Eliasson's man-made waterfalls along Manhattan's East River.
If the $630-per-night price tag got your blood boiling (hey, this is the Ritz-Carlton, after all), perhaps this offering from the Westin New York at Times Square can be your blood pressure medication.

July 4th in New York City draws thousands of people to the banks of its city rivers to watch the fireworks displays. But this year, Manhattan is gearing up for its most unusual river display yet--The New York City Waterfalls, a temporary series of four man-made waterfalls, ranging in height from 90 to 120 feet, to be situated along the East River in various spots.
Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson, along with the Public Art Fund, will roll out these eye-popping "installations" beginning in late June through October -- undoubtedly the coolest outdoor art project to grace Gotham since Christo's "Gates" in Central Park.
The Ritz Carlton Battery Park offers a sweet package that will get you up close and personal for a river-water rush.
