Dress warmly during the winter months. The cold wind off the East River makes the temperature drop by 5-10 degrees. Protip :: use the app to time your arrival to the ferry.
- Fluying ✅October 29, 2014Great free views of midtown and the Empire State Building. From the pier you get amazing panoramic and some fresh air.
Walk to the end of the dock and you're basically half way across the river. Grab a coconut bar and take an evening stroll.
they come and go super fast!! I was walking down the dock at :19 after when the ferry pulled in and pulled out by :20 and I had missed the boat. don't dilly dally.- In reference to Talisa's tip, if you walk to the end, you are NOWHERE near halfway across the river. NOWHERE. You might be at least 1/10th, but not 1/2.
- Christoff FrazierSeptember 6, 2013Screw the train. Hop on a boat, drink your coffee and relax. Prescription for an awesome Friday.

Don't stand on by the boat ramp when the ferry is docking island or else the ferry captain will refuse to dock. The ramp connecting to it is fine.- East River FerryFebruary 12, 2012Valentine's Day Contest going on NOW through 2/14!
The southbound ferry arrives and leaves about five minutes early everyday! You should adjust cause they won't.

"Best way to get around when it’s nice out. Cost the same as a subway but the views and air are much nicer. Download the NYC Ferry app to view schedules and buy your tickets in advance."
