The Brookfield Place ferry terminal is a short walk away from the World Trade Center and is located in Battery Park City, off Vesey Street.
The terminal consists of a glass shelter and waiting areas for the various carriers that serve here. There’s also a ticket office for NY Waterway, and if memory serves, I think also a newsstand? I could be misremembering though. Yeah, not a lot to talk about. Sorry. It’s kinda in walking distance of the World Trade Center station complex, so I’m lumping it in with them, even though this wasn’t built until 2009.
The good: It’s accessible! It’s also got seating and ticketing areas.
The bad: Nothing. I got nothing to remark about it.
Nearby points of interest: Battery Park City, the World Trade Center, Brookfield Place.

Yeah, because there’s not a lot to talk about, I’ll also be talking about the Liberty Landing Ferry. The ferry used on this route is a smaller one, yellow colored. The route goes over to the Warren Street dock over in Jersey City, and then it bangs a u-ey to stop at the Liberty State Park ferry terminal. It’s quite a scenic ride, all things considered (really, the view of NYC from Liberty State Park in general is beautiful), and for the rather scenic trip across the Hudson, the $10 it costs is worth it.
The good: It’s SCENIC.
The bad: The $10 might be steep for the full run, however I think it’s worth it.
Nearby points of interest: Liberty State Park is a big one!

Overall though, it’s not bad. Now, that does leave two ferry terminals tied to this as un-reviewed. But, I’ll cover them at a later date. Maybe, as filler content.
