647 feet underground, the Shandaken Tunnel was transformed into a banquet hall on May 20, 1922, when 150 guests shared a celebratory lunch to mark the holing through of two tunnel sections. At the time, the 18-mile tunnel built to carry water from the Schoharie Reservoir to the Ashokan Reservoir, and onwards to New York City, was the longest in the world.From NYC Water -- source link
