Seeing how the temperatures had risen to 30 degrees , we headed outdoors and explored a part of Manhattan we hadn't seen before. South Street Seaport Village is downtown, on the East River. It has a great view of the Brooklyn Bridge from the pier, as you can see in the picture. There are 5 old boats moored on Pier 16---schooners, tugboats, and cargo ships.
I cannot take credit for this photo---I got if off the Seaport Museum website. Maybe we'll actually see this boat sail when the weather is warmer. The NYC Water Taxis also leave from Pier 16---they can take people to the Statue of Liberty, among other places. There are also lots of restaurants and retail stores at Seaport Village. I am sure it gets pretty crowded there in the summertime. Tomorrow we are off to have brunch with my friend Ellen from Seattle, who is in town with her husband. Their son goes to Columbia, so they come to NYC every so often to see him. I am hoping to take Ethan up to the campus and take some photos there too.
