NYC's Water: So Nice, They Gave It A Price

If you’re dining out today, don’t be surprised if you get charged [$1 for a glass of tap water]. Flippin' gentrification! Well, not really. The price tag is in celebration of [World Water Day](http://www.worldwaterday.org/) and UNICEF’s [Tap Project](http://www.tapproject.org/restaurants). “But, don’t I usually get my H20 for free?” you ask. Yeah, you do, but not everyone is as lucky with the easy access to NYC’s refreshing tap water. You can’t even buy a pack of gum for a buck nowadays, but $1 could go a long way towards helping UNICEF provide clean drinking water to 1.1 billion people around the world.
