EAST SIDE, Manhattan (WABC) -- Crews are investigating a water main break on the East Side of Manhattan.

It happened around 5:30 p.m. Saturday on 455 E. 51st St. near the Beekman Mansion.

The fire department said all of the water funneled into drains and that prevented any flooding.



The mansion is now a co-op building. It opened exactly 100 years ago.
