Brooklyn Port

[Cruzee2]

Doing a back to back cruise out of NYC Brooklyn Port.  After our first cruise has returned, any suggestions on what to do while at Brooklyn port before the next embarkation?  Are they shops nearby or is the Brooklyn Bridge within walking distance? Thank you in advance.

Take the ferry over to Wall St, then walk to 'south ferry' and take the Staten Island Ferry across the harbor...exit the ferry...walk around and reboard and sail back to lower Manhattan...ride the subway to 34th st...attempt to visit the Empire State building.  Depending on time of year and other things it is very popular and the lines can be very long.

The Brooklyn Bridge is not really walkable from the port. The NY ferry system is at the port.  So for $2.75 per person you can board the ferry; it will take you right past the Brooklyn Bridge(for photos, and continue on to Pier 11 at wall street.  From there you could uber over to 911 memorial and museum.  Then reverse course to go back to the ship.

Taking the ferry from Brooklyn you can walk 9/11 Memorial, the Oculus, the World Trade Center Observatory, Brookfield (upscale) Mall or Century 21 Designer Discount Dept Store.
