Wine/liquor store near pier in NY?

[DRCANDON]

Hi...

For those who have sailed out of NY...Wife unit and I will be sailing out of NY on the Noordam next week. I know I can order a wine package on board - of course we all know how expensive that is. So my question being, is there a wine/beer store near the pier ( walking distance)? I can probably pick up some on the duty free on the plane or maybe even in the airport ( I am not familiar with NY airports). Basically we are flying in - then being wisked away to the ship and the dock..you know the drill.

Any options anyone can think of??

There used to be a service in Miami and Ft.Lauderdale - the person that ran it also use to have service in NY but she has retired her service I beleive.

Thanks

The NY pier is in a fairly industrial area so I don't think there are any wine stores close by. I don't live in that part the city so I am not all that familiar with those neighborhoods. I have also never thought of buying wine at NY airports since all I want to do is get home, so I have no idea what would be available! :D

Are you taking a cab or do you have transfers from the airport to the pier? If by cab, the cabby may be able to tell you about wine stores along the way.

Hi ...we have a transfer - so no stopping..that is why I wondered if there were any duty free on the way out of the airport..oh well..just have to pay the price on board...
