Depart from the Midtown Sofitel New York Hotel. How do you go?

I took the No. 1 subway and got off at the last South ferry station. Then walk to 15 docks.

Great one hour tour.

I liked riding the 90th st Ferry up to Pier 15 and Pier 11 is right next to it. the Ferry is only 2.75you can probably walk from your hotel to the water and catch one. Look up Soundview Ferry. Try Google maps for the walking or Lyft part
