Address

4 Whitehall Street

City

New York, NY 10004

Best reached by

1 train to South Ferry, or the R/W to Whitehall Street

Ideal season

Clear winter mornings, when the harbor light is sharpest

Bring

A coat, because the deck wind does not negotiate

My take

Free, scenic, and the closest thing this city offers to a proper sea voyage. I have never once needed a reason to go.
