NYC Ferry - Greenpoint Landing

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 .

Great 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.

Lovely sights of the city from here.

Screw the train . Hop on a boat, drink your coffee and relax. Prescription for an awesome Friday.

Nicest views on East River .

The southbound ferry arrives and leaves about five minutes early everyday! You should adjust cause they won't.

Views from GP piers are the best.

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.

Buy your ticket with the iphone app!

Thanks for fixing the spelling mistake. There is no Greepoint, lol :-)

As you walk on the platform at night, the 5th light is broken. Fix this.
