HUDSON RIVER?A team of volunteers rowed out from Pier 49 to install 217 LED lights on top of posts in the Hudson River. The point? "Reflecting the Stars," a public art project with the goal of "recreating a night sky with visible stars on the Hudson River." After a one-day delay thanks to Hurricane Irene, the project's opening reception is tonight at sunset, 7:17 p.m. sharp. Special guest: Charles Renfro of Diller Sofidio + Renfro. [CurbedWire Inbox]

That was the highest evacuation rate in any of the city's public housing developments within Zone A. Hey, if we'd known there were going to be prizes? [CurbedWire Inbox]
