The sweet scent of sewage may not sound romantic, but for lovers of urban infrastructure, the Department of Environmental Protection is offering a Valentine?s morning tour of the Newtown Creek Wastewater treatment plant.

?It?s a unique date, and one they?ll never forget,? said plant superintendent Jim Pynn.​

Pynn hosts public tours every month, but in honor of the holiday, visitors next Tuesday will get a special candy treat.​

?Couples and singles and children and old folks ? whoever shows up is welcome to a Hershey kiss,? he said.​

?New York is so unique, and we have so many secrets. This is a pretty neat secret, and I think it?s a great conversation,? Pynn said.​

?Just imagine going home and saying, ?Where did he take me on Valentine?s Day? I went to see the digester eggs in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.?​
