Jury duty dim sum chinatown nyc9/2/2023 (Some fun history here, alot of the buildings that have been preserved, were houses of how to I say this "ill repute" after all it was a seaport, lol.įrom there walk back to Water St. Seaport, some history here and a bit of shopping. Now turn around and walk right down Wall ST, you see the NYSE on your right and the Federal Building on your left continue down to Water St and turn left, walk a couple of blocks to the South St. Walk just around the corner to Broadway and walk up Broadway, on your right is the Customs House, (with a branch of the Native American Museum), further up is the "Bull" (you'll know when you get there), and up just ahead on your left is Trinity Church and Cemetery (you might find it interesting to walk around the church and grounds, SEVERAL prominent Americans are buried there. On your left is the Mother Elizabeth Seaton Church, the first US Saint, and the Church there, is small and lovely and you might stop there for a few minutes. When you get off the ferry you are looking for Water ST which is a half block away, on your right. Hope you have your walking shoes on,because it's a nice but longish walk from there, so here goes. When you get off on Staten Island, follow the signs and crowd and go to the waiting room to get back on the boat for you trip back. During the nice weather it is a really nice ride. The ferry is free, just walk through the turnstyle and get on the next boat leaving. The entrance to the ferry terminal is right upstairs. You have to be on the FIRST 5 cars to get off, the platform there is not long enough to accomodate the 8 cars so only the first 5 cars will the doors open. The Staten Island Ferry leaves from the very tip of Manhattan, and from your hotel, take the #1 train to South Ferry. The lines get very LONG during the nice weather. If you do decide you want to do that, you need to be there for the very first ferry of the day, and I would suggest getting there around 7am, to get in line. I agree you won't have much time if you do the Ellis Island/SOL tour.
