Things to do in New York, United States: The Best Ferries
New York State has it all – booming metropolises, majestic waterfalls, mountains, wine country, chicken wings. Yes, NYC is a magnet for tourists, but an exploration of the rest of the state can be equally thrilling. The Finger Lakes Wine Region is a vision of serene waters, quaint B&Bs, and pretty vineyards. Movie buffs will love Rochester, home of the George Eastman House and one of the world’s most comprehensive film archives. On your way to Niagara Falls, stop in Buffalo to fuel up on spicy wings.

The Freeport Water Taxi & Tours is a great little boat ride for locals and tourists alike. Reasonably priced, GREAT staff, a little bar on board and it offers everyone the chance to get out on the water for a bit, enjoy the sights and sounds of Long Island, enjoy a cocktail (if you like those ;-)) and take some great pics all while learning a bit more about the South Shore and Freeport in general. Well worth it.

A must of course for a fantastic free view of NYC...but do homework before you plan your time of travel....some ferries are closed decks and some are open....which is much better for photos and experience so check out on board in Whitehall terminal which are open and times of travel.

For $2.75 each we travelled up the East river from the Brooklyn Bridge to Mid Town (34th St) at sunset with incredible views of the Manhattan skyline. Not to be missed if you are visiting New York, especially if you are on a budget. Tip: bring a hat and gloves if you want to sit on the top deck and enjoy the view in November
