Happy Alligators In The Sewer Day!

Did you know that today marks the 75th anniversary of the birth of one of New York's greatest urban legends? Yep, the discovery of alligators in the NYC sewer system! Back in November we took a look back at the city's history with alligators, dating back to at least 1935 when the New York Times reported on an 8-footer in East Harlem!

This morning a press conference was even held on the steps of City Hall to mark the event—sadly we got word of this at the last minute else we would have definitely been there! Anyway, we hear that at this shindig, Manhattan Borough President Stringer declared it "Alligators in the Sewers Day." Really! So get out there celebrate.
