I ♥ Tap Water - NYTimes.com
New York City is so proud of its tap water that the Bloomberg administration has come up with a product line to trumpet its quality and promote it as an affordable and sustainable alternative to bottled water.
The merchandise, bearing an NYC Water logo, ranges from glasses ($5) to T-shirts ($23) and is available at CityStore, the city’s online shop for all things New York. There are also coasters, decanters and water bottles sold both online at www.nyc.gov/citystore and at Fishs Eddy, the New York-based purveyor of dinnerware, glassware and kitchen goods.
“Our high-quality drinking water not only quenches New Yorkers’ thirst, but is the not-so-secret ingredient in the bagels, pizza, and thousands of other dishes that people come from around the world to get,” the city’s environmental protection commissioner, Cas Holloway, said Thursday in a statement announcing the products.
