Late Night at Northside Piers + Old Dutch Getting Pumped

Our friends at Brooklyn 11211 note that it's been a busy couple of days in Williamsburg at a couple of our favorite spots. First, the now fully glassed Northside Piers was installing a rooftop cooling tower until 3AM, in keeping with that Billburg late night vibe. Also, the Big Dutch Hole formerly known as the Old Dutch Mustard building was getting pumped with concrete. 11211 writes:

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.
