Ferry (New York)
This was my new favourite things to do on this visit. Riding the ferry for the spectacular views! From Long Island City it is easy and convenient to take the ferry to get to other parts of the city. It is a quick 5 minutes ride straight over to Manhattan or approximately 30 minutes to go down all the way to Wall Street. And for under 3 USD, you get a free sightseeing tour without the commentary but with excellent views. Sit inside on a cool day or out on a sunny one and take great photos of midtown, the famous Brooklyn Bridge, downtown and the skyline overall. I felt this was the best bargain tip for things to do I had received in a long time. Well worth it!
