There are plenty of fun stops along the Pier by the Hudson River, but there are alternative ways to enjoy the waterfront in NYC. Check out these options:
Rollerskate at
Pier 2 in Brooklyn Bridge Park, 150 Furman St, Brooklyn - a new attraction this summer, Pier 2 features bocce ball, shuffleboard, astroturf, basketball courts, exercise equipment, and best of all, rollerskating.
Cruise on the Hudson with
Manhattan by Sail - with 130 other passengers on deck and a fully stocked bar, these sailboats offer you a unique way to see Manhattan. They have two-hour cruises throughout the day, in different areas along the Hudson, and with different themed-cruises.
