There’s plenty to do in New York beyond Manhattan with its world famous skyline. Taking a water-taxi to Brooklyn is a brilliant way to start!
Travel out at dusk where you can skim over the calm waters of New York’s East river. Behind you, Manhattan’s glittering skyline bathed in hues of pink, red and gold; ahead an industrial waterfront from a different era that is silhouetted against a clear but darkening sky. The journey alone to the borough of Brooklyn makes it worth venturing out of Manhattan.
Great travel tip! Ikea (the Swedish furniture store) in Brooklyn provides a free water-taxi from Manhattan.
Compared to Manhattan, Brooklyn offers great value & has an excellent section of trendy restaurants & cocktail bars as well as providing amazing views of the city.
