Talk about local. A New York guy is making a living bottling New York City tap water and selling it under the label Tap'dNY.

Chicago tap water is known for its exceptional quality and taste. The Natural Resources Defense Council calls our H20 "excellent." Check out further evidence from the city's Water Department here, if you can make out the scientific mumbo jumbo.

So we'll take on NYC tap water in a taste test any day. To us, ice cold water straight from the faucet is nirvana. But we're still kicking ourselves ... why didn't we think of this?
