Travel Note
Ferry to Greenpoint
The best way to get to The Greepoint Loft on Friday is to take the NYC Ferry from the ferry station located at 34th street and the East River. The ride is about 10 minutes long to the GREENPOINT stop. The Greenpoint Loft is a short walk from the Greenpoint landing. From the Greepoint Ferry Station, walk down the pier (away from the water). Continue down India Street one block to West Street. Turn RIGHT on West Street and walk 4 blocks to 67 West Street, The Greenpoint Loft. We recommend buying your ticket ahead of time using the NYC Ferry smartphone app. Otherwise, tickets can be bought online or at the ferry station for $2.75. When the summer travel schedule is posted, we will link to it here. Please note that the ferry is extremely PROMPT and usually leaves the station right on schedule.
Travel Note
Ride Apps
NYC has a million great ways to get around. We love the subway and recommend it, but here are some other options: UBER and UBER POOL When you open your UBER app in NYC you'll notice an option for UBER POOL. This is a lower-cost UBER ride where you may be sharing your UBER with other riders for a reduced fee. VIA VIA is another ride sharing app for smartphones. You get a $10 ride credit for signing up with VIA, plus - if you share VIA with another new user, you BOTH get a $10 ride credit. This goes a long way with groups.
