Great way to explore the city is the use the The NY Water Taxi. You buy a daily pass $31 for an adult and $ 19 for children. Then you can hop on and off through the day at their 4 terminals. South Street Seaport is closest to the apartment.
– 3 in Manhattan: Midtown 42nd St, Downtown Battery Park, and South Street Seaport
– 1 in Brooklyn: DUMBO. (Red Hook and DUMBO in Brooklyn Bridge Park)
+ the Ikea Ferry from Pier 11 (Manhattan) to Ikea Brooklyn
