Even as a native New Yorker I still do this with my family every summer. Never gets old

Just wanted to say that my wife and I came to the city for the first time and I used so many of your amazing tips to navigate the city. Thank you for all that you do, we appreciated all your advice.

My friend and I were in NYC for the first time recently. We had never heard of the ferry, but we took the tram to Roosevelt Island and hung out for a while and had dinner there. Afterwards we noticed signs for the ferry so decided to check it out. It was easy to figure out how to get tickets from the machine, and we enjoyed our lovely $4 sunset cruise to Wall Street. And we got a lot of pictures of the Brooklyn Bridge as we went under it. We would highly recommend the ferry as a tourist attraction in its own right.

As a local this guys nyc videos are the only ones I’ve seen that show you tips even locals don’t know

If you take the Path to exchange place, the photos you can take of the skyline are incredible, plus lots of restaurants and no tourists 😀

[andylynes]

This is such a fantastic tip. We took the ferry today from Pier 11 to Roosevelt Island. The $4, 40 minute ride was incredible with stunning views of the Manhattan skyline. We then took the tramway back over to Manhattan with more jaw-dropping vistas. We wouldn't have known about either without this channel which we've been watching studiously for many months while planning our holiday so we are very grateful and indebted to John for sharing his knowledge. We are also staying Park Slope in Brooklyn partly due to the neighbourhood's coverage on this channel and are absolutely loving it so thanks due again to John.

Suchhhh an amazing video! I always come back to this channel every time I go to NY. This guy honestly have the best tips to go around the city and for cheap. Love love love it, thank you ❤

[marcellocolona]

I’ve taken these routes many times, great photo ops and not choked with tourists. The Staten Island ferry is free but overrun with hordes of tourists in the warmer months. Always take a jacket even in the summer, the wind can be brutal.

Way to inform visitors to NYC that one can experience the city (not just Manhattan) for minimum $$$. Of course hotels prices are expensive but many places to visit such as parks are free. Many museums do not have a set entrance fee, it's more like accepting donations. The SI Ferry is free, of course the NYC Ferry is $4.00. There are many great quality eateries that are budget priced (outside the high touristy areas). Many of those eateries featured on this channel.

Great summer threat! Love the idea of taking the ferry to DUMBO and crossing the Brooklyn Bridge back to the city.

[NYC]

Thanks for the great idea, was looking at a boat tour but this looks far more relaxed. That’s 2 things I’m doing now on my next trip to NYC. Keep them coming and thank you.

For a relaxt way to JFK airport, take the ferry to Rockaway Beach after a short walk to the Subway A/S and a ride to Howard Beach and the JFK Train to the airport. Great views of Manhattan and the best way to say goodbye to New York :-)

If you are worried about the weather one can sit downstairs and stay out of the weather. The downstairs area is heated and air-conditioned with great views. I would not hesitate to ride it any time of the year. The lower area is good if you have walking/stairs issues. Also, nice clean bathrooms on the boat . Great deal at $4.00.

The Brooklyn Bridge is quite the impressive bridge for sure! The span was designed by John A. Roebling. The project's chief engineer, his son Washington Roebling, contributed further design work, assisted by the latter's wife, Emily Warren Roebling. When her husband was bedridden, it was up to her (who was the only one to visit him when he was sick) to see it through. She developed extensive knowledge thanks to his teachings. She took over much of the chief engineer duties, including day-to-day supervision and project management. When the bridge was finally completed in 1883, she was the first to cross it by carriage.

She was honored in a speech by Abram Stevens Hewitt, who said that the bridge was, "an everlasting monument to the sacrificing devotion of a woman and of her capacity for that higher education from which she has been too long disbarred".
