DRINK UP
The Museum of American Finance and the New York City Department of Records and Information Services are hosting an exhibit, “Ebb & Flow: Tapping into the History of New York City’s Water,” at the Municipal Archives at 31 Chambers through Sept. 1. “Ebb & Flow” explores the more than 200-year history of the city’s efforts to build one of the world’s finest water supply systems. The exhibit includes the fascinating story of how a private water company, founded by Aaron Burr in 1799, evolved into the largest bank in the United States today. Hours are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday: 9a to 4:30p; Thursday: 9a to 6p; alternate Saturdays: 9:30a to 4p – full Saturday schedule here.

I recommend toggling around the Museum of Finance’s website event page (it has no permanent home). They have some cool sounding walking tours and chats coming up over the next months, all in the area.

ARTIST WHO PAINTED TRIBECA STOREFRONTS – LITERALLY
A Uno (on the corner of West Broadway and Duane) is displaying the collages of artist Karen Muir, who started her relationship with the stores of Tribeca by painting their logos on storefront windows. (At one time she did A Uno, Bubby’s, Mr Chow, among others.) She has seven pieces in the store and another seven waiting to be hung.
