Starting tonight and continuing every night until Lower Manhattan is submerged in water, there will be a dazzling free light show at midnight down at the new Peter Minuit Plaza by the Staten Island ferry terminal.

Designed by Ben van Berkel of UNStudio, it's intended to serve as an "'outdoor living room' for spontaneous and scheduled activities, information, public markets, seating and shade."
