Top photo from the 34th St. station ( Manhattan) and the lower image from the 4th Ave. station in Brooklyn after exiting the F train. This day there was a maintenance person washing the floors with a solution that must have been 50% bleach. Very clean and very smelly.
The Ikea Water Taxi runs from the pier adjacent to the Ikea store in Red Hook to the old Fulton Fish Market Pier on the east side of Manhattan ( Pier 11 ). The views from the taxi are incredible as you cross the East River.
