FERRY INFO: Let’s take a free ferry from Pier 11 in Lower Manhattan to Red Hook, Brooklyn--an isolated, fascinating neighborhood on the waterfront. (GET ON THE FERRY LINE NO LATER THAN 12:15 PM BECAUSE THE BOAT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE EVERYONE. IF MEETING ON THE RED HOOK DOCK, PLEASE ARRIVE NO LATER THAN 12:45.) Take the free Ikea ferry, run by NY Waterways. We can't all stand on line together, so we'll assemble on the IKEA dock when the ferry arrives, at around 12:40. Feel free to meet us there by 12:45 if you're driving or taking the bus. And please be sure to use the bathrooms at Pier 11 unless you can wait until 1:30 or so. WALK INFO: We’ll have lunch at the Red Hook ballfields, surrounded by food trucks from Central and South America. After lunch we'll visit a juried art show in a huge, converted Civil-War-era warehouse. Next we'll experience a brief guided tour of the Barge Museum, a historic vessel from the 1880s. Then we'll grab some key lime pie, get a close view of the statue of liberty from a waterfront park and pebble beach, and possibly view a quirky collection of 1950s memorabilia if time permits. ENDING TIME: We'll return by ferry at 5:05, THOUGH YOU CAN LEAVE EARLIER by catching the 3:50 ferry or taking the bus from Ikea to the F train at any time after lunch. DISTANCE: About 3-4 miles. COST: At least $2 donation at both the art show and the barge. Plus $1 CASH for me. TRANSPORTATION: Closest: 2 or 3 train to Wall St. Or 4 train to Wall St. (No 5 there this weekend.) Or A,C train to Fulton St. Please Google MTA planned service changes for weekend changes on your subway lines.
South St. and Gouverneur Lane, just south of Wall St.
