East River Ferry - There is a ferry stop at S. 11th and Kent - not sure why it's placing it here on the map, but it does go up and down the East River stopping in Brooklyn and Manhattan. I recommend taking it south to Brooklyn Bridge Park - you go underneath two bridges and it's a cool way to see the skyline.

The East River Ferry service was launched in 2011. In short, you get a view of New York City that you don't get when standing atop a skyscraper, riding the subway, or walking down busy streets, even in brownstone Brooklyn. Gorgeous views of Manhattan, NY Harbor and Lady Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Manhattan and Williamsburg Bridges, the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building, and more. If you go down to DUMBO you can see the waterfront, glass-enclosed Jane's Carousel (it's spectacular), cool old warehouses, and Brooklyn Bridge Park.
