The realtor for our new apartment in Long Island City told us about the East River Ferry. For $4 (Let me spell that out just in case you ever wanted to take a boat tour around Manhattan--FOUR DOLLARS AND NO CENTS) you can hop on board this express water taxi and in 6 (I feel the need to spell that out, too--SIX) minutes be on a Manhattan sidewalk.
Yesterday I took the Ferry from the Manhattan side on 34th Street and rode it five "stops" down river where I hopped off and got myself a BLT in DUMBO (See my next entry for more on this).
A nice feature about this is you don't have to have a ticket, just hand the ferry operator $4, and you're good to go!
This is a large ferry, but it's a speed demon!
Take your gloves off inside the cabin--it's heated!
