New York Today

A royal visit to the city that was once called new amsterdam.

Among other stops in New York, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima of the Netherlands will tour an exhibit focused on 400 years of Dutch history.

By James Barron

Good morning. It’s Thursday. We’ll get details of a royal visit to New York City. We’ll also find out what Mayor Eric Adams said when asked about pro-Palestinian demonstrations.

They did not arrive in the United States the way many couples do — the husband, who has a pilot’s license, was in the cockpit of the Boeing 737 jet, serving as the co-pilot for at least part of the flight from Europe.

Still, on their outing in New York City today, the pair, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima of the Netherlands, will do what many tourists do. They will stroll along the High Line and go to a museum.

But they said the trip had a purpose — emphasizing ties between the Netherlands and the United States and strengthening economic connections. The most recent data from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis showed that the Netherlands ranked third in direct investment in the United States with $617.1 billion at the end of 2022, after Japan ($712 billion) and the United Kingdom ($663.4 billion).

So the royals’ itinerary includes a midday event at the Brooklyn Navy Yard about business startups and ways to accelerate clean technology .

They will also go on a tour of East Flatbush, Brooklyn, where they will “discuss urban challenges such as climate action, affordable housing and societal resilience” with community leaders, according to the Dutch government. Their day will end with a reception at Hudson Yards in Manhattan; the king and Mayor Eric Adams are expected to speak there.

The trip is not the royals’ first visit to New York. Willem-Alexander and Máxima visited in 2009, when he was the crown prince (he ascended to the throne in 2013). Máxima had lived in New York from 1996 to 2000 when she was an investment banker.

They arrived in New York City after two days in Georgia and one in Albany. (Willem-Alexander flew the plane there, too, according to a spokeswoman for the Netherlands Embassy in Washington.) Willem-Alexander’s focus was on jobs during a session at a nanotechnology center in Albany that describes itself as the largest nonprofit semiconductor research-and-development facility in the country . Willem-Alexander was all business in his brief remarks there, saying that trade with the Netherlands accounted for 57,000 jobs in New York State.

Gov. Kathy Hochul said that “New York became what it is because of the Dutch” and mentioned names like Brooklyn and the New York Knicks that have Dutch roots. She also referred to the Schuyler mansion in Albany, where Elizabeth Schuyler grew up. Of the three daughters in the household — familiar to theatergoers who’ve seen “Hamilton” — she was the one who married the man whose portrait is on the $10 bill.

Later, as the king looked on, Hochul and a Dutch trade official signed a memorandum of understanding that confirmed shared interests in advancing semiconductor research and development.

Today, after their stops in Brooklyn, Willem-Alexander and Máxima will walk through an exhibition commemorating 400 years of Dutch history in New York at the New-York Historical Society on the Upper West Side. The exhibition includes a 1626 letter that describes the “purchase” of Manhattan from Native Americans for 60 guilders, which later was said to have been $24.

The exhibition also includes a letter from three chiefs of contemporary Lenape communities whose ancestors lived in Manhattan when the Dutch arrived with hopes of establishing a Dutch republic in North America. And the exhibition displays a map of New Amsterdam, called the Castello Plan, that was painted around 1660, long before Peter Stuyvesant surrendered to the British.

So what do you say when a king and queen cross the threshold?

“I’m going to invite them to have a look at Dutch history, beginning at the very beginning,” said Louise Mirrer, the president and chief executive of the historical society .

“What’s eye-opening is to see evidence that the Dutch actually did believe they had purchased Manhattan from the Lenape,” she said. “The letter really says something about how cultures can understand each other incorrectly, or misunderstand one another. Obviously, history bore out how the misunderstanding was disadvantageous to the Lenape.”

Enjoy a sunny day in the mid-80s. The evening should be mostly clear, with temperatures in the low 70s.

Adams praised a reporter’s ‘summer body’

Mayor Eric Adams told a journalist who asked him about pro-Palestinian demonstrations that it looked as if he had been working out and complimented the reporter’s “summer body.”

One of the mayor’s top female advisers, sitting nearby at City Hall, shook her head in disbelief. Another deputy mayor looked down and covered her eyes.

My colleague Emma G. Fitzsimmons writes that the remark was not unusual for Adams. He often comments on people’s physical appearance or clothing. And while he speaks proudly about the number of top cabinet officials who are women, he has also made the point to note that they lead while wearing Christian Louboutin shoes, with their signature red-soled heels.

This was not the first time that Adams had singled out the reporter he said had a “summer body” — Pete Cuddihy, an intern at Fox News. At a news conference in March, when Cuddihy asked about the city’s housing crisis, the mayor said, “I like that turtleneck — people don’t wear turtlenecks anymore.”

A spokeswoman for Fox News sent a statement from Cuddihy that said: “Speaking only about my interaction on June 11 with Mayor Adams, I felt his comments towards me were friendly, and I did not feel uncomfortable.”

Adams is far from the only notable elected official who has been criticized for making comments that seem inappropriate. President Biden has made remarks about people’s physical appearance; Donald Trump often mocks people’s physical appearance and was found liable in a civil trial for sexually abusing the writer E. Jean Carroll. And the Justice Department found that Andrew Cuomo, the former New York governor, subjected female employees to a “sexually hostile work environment,” made unwanted comments and gave preferential treatment to some employees based on their physical appearance.

Adams, a Democrat, was himself accused in a lawsuit of sexually assaulting a colleague in 1993 when he was a police officer.

Fabien Levy, a deputy mayor and Adams’s chief spokesman, said the mayor “would never intentionally make someone feel uncomfortable. He’s a warm and engaging person who talks to New Yorkers the way any regular New Yorker speaks to one another.”

METROPOLITAN diary

Dear Diary:

Anyone who lived or worked in Midtown Manhattan in the 1970s and ’80s knew Gene Palma as the guy who “played” Sixth Avenue. He even had a cameo in “Taxi Driver.”

With shoe-polish blackened hair and heavy makeup, Gene would play his drum on the sidewalk. Sometimes, he would bang his sticks on newspaper vending machines, or sit on the curb and play the street itself.

In the winter, to avoid the frigid north wind that swept down the avenues, he would move onto the side streets. Once, when I saw him on 52nd Street, I asked why he moved onto the side streets every winter.

“The sound’s better,” he said.

Our Broadway Selections for 2024!

Water for Elephants, the Musical (included in the trip)

Based on the critically acclaimed bestselling novel, critics are calling it “spellbinding entertainment: “the best new musical on Broadway”, thrilling, dazzling and more. Nominated for several Tony Awards, this play focuses on a young man who “after losing what matters most, jumps a moving train unsure of where the road will take him and finds a new home with the remarkable crew of a traveling circus, and a life—and love—beyond his wildest dreams. Seen through the eyes of his older self, his adventure becomes a poignant reminder that if you choose the ride, life can begin again at any age.”

The Play That Goes Wrong (included in the trip)

Broadway’s funniest and longest-running play. You’ll laugh out loud as you witness the opening night of Haversham Manor where things quickly go from bad to disastrous. There is a leading lady who is unconscious, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines). Ben Brantley of The New York Times calls The Play That Goes Wrong “A gut-busting hit!

Tammy Faye, The Musical (optional show at group prices – not included in the price of the trip)

The story of a traveling preacher’s wife who beamed into homes with a message of hope… and stole the country’s heart. Tammy Faye Bakker – the charismatic wife of pastor Jim Bakker, built a nationwide congregation that put the fun back into faith. But even as Tammy dazzled on screen, jealous rivals plotted behind the scenes. Tammy Faye remained determined to lead with love.  A wonderful play with music by Elton John is sure to be a winning combination.

5 Best Cruises From New York

Where will your ship sail to as you head off into the sunset .

By Donna Heiderstadt | Published on January 24, 2024

New York City is famous for many things, including skyscrapers, Broadway shows and some of the world's top restaurants. It's also a great jumping-off point for cruises to the Caribbean, The Bahamas, Bermuda, Canada, New England and even transatlantic crossings to Europe.

Some of the top cruises out of New York are available with Royal Caribbean, which sails from Cape Liberty, New Jersey. The cruise terminal is located on the southwestern side of New York Harbor and is easily reached by car. Long-term parking is available, so you can head out on your cruise after making the drive.

If you plan to fly in before your cruise, Newark Liberty International Airport is just nine miles away. You can arrange to be met by a Royal Caribbean representative there and whisked off to your ship. Or you can arrive a day or two early to enjoy the sights and activities of New York City. Catch a Broadway show, see the Statue of Liberty or explore The Metropolitan Museum of Art before setting sail. When it's time to board, book a car service or taxi to Cape Liberty, about 20 minutes away from the Holland Tunnel (without traffic), and get ready for your getaway.

One of my favorite memories of sailing from Cape Liberty aboard Anthem of the Seas ® was the 360-degree view of New York Harbor with the Statue of Liberty set against the lower Manhattan skyline. Stay on deck until your ship passes beneath the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, and as you enter the Atlantic Ocean, look left to catch a glimpse of the circa-1927 Cyclone roller coaster on Coney Island.

Where will your ship sail to as you head off into the sunset? There are a variety of incredible options, so read on for the five best cruises from New Jersey sailing out of Cape Liberty.

1. Best For A Caribbean Vacation

Is the Caribbean calling, but you'd rather sail there than fly? If you live within driving distance of the New York metro area, island-hopping is as easy as boarding Royal Caribbean's Anthem of the Seas ® or Odyssey of the Seas ℠ in Cape Liberty for a sun-seekers cruise from New Jersey.

These 4,180-guest Quantum Class ships offer 11- or 12-night Southern Caribbean cruise itineraries in January of 2024 — easily some of the most exciting cruises out of New York. Depending on the sailing, you can visit four to six islands after unpacking just once onboard the ship. Both ships also offer thrilling onboard amenities and world-class entertainment for couples and families. Some of my favorite spaces are Two70® for multimedia performances and the SeaPlex® for court sports and bumper car rides.

Ports visited vary, but itineraries include San Juan, Puerto Rico, where historic sites meet eco-adventure; Phillipsburg, St. Maarten, for incredible beaches and duty-free shopping; Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, for scenic tours and snorkeling adventures; Castries, St. Lucia, for breathtaking landscapes and Creole cuisine; and Bridgetown, Barbados , for food tours and rum tasting. No matter the itinerary, you'll get the full Caribbean experience on these sailings.

2. Best For Fall Leaf-Peeping

Some of the best cruises out of New York are timed around fall foliage season. Royal Caribbean's nine-night Canada and New England sailings on Liberty of the Seas ® visit some of the region's top ports in September and October of 2024 and offer access to vivid landscapes and seasonal activities.

Liberty of the Seas ® , a 3,798-guest Freedom Class ship, is a great option for both couples and families, with 10 dining venues and onboard attractions that include the Tidal Wave℠ water slide and an ice-skating rink.

You'll visit Boston , a beacon for history lovers, followed by Portland, Maine for fresh seafood, microbreweries and lighthouses. Canada's autumnal display can be enjoyed during calls on Sydney and Halifax in Nova Scotia, where coastal hamlets such as Peggy's Cove are postcard-perfect against a patchwork of orange, red and gold. Nature is equally magnificent in St. John, New Brunswick, where tides in the Bay of Fundy recede to reveal stunning rock formations.

3. Best For A Playful Island Escape

If your family cruise goals include a breezy island escape with lots of playtime, Royal Caribbean's seven-night Bahamas & Perfect Day Cruise from Cape Liberty on Anthem of the Seas®  is a fantastic option. It's available on nine dates from February to April in 2024

You'll call on Port Canaveral (Orlando, Florida), where you can soak up the sunshine on a nearby beach, visit the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex or head to an Orlando theme park. Next up: Perfect Day at CocoCay, Royal Caribbean's incredible private Bahamian island experience. It offers something for every member of the family, from pristine beaches that are perfect for a swim to Thrill Waterpark® with its spiraling slides and wave pool.

If you're cruising as a couple, join the party at  Oasis Lagoon® , the Caribbean's largest pool, or relax in a private overwater bungalow at  Coco Beach Club® . The final port is lively Nassau in The Bahamas, where local hospitality can be enjoyed on snorkeling excursions, dolphin encounters and visits to the Aquaventure waterpark at Atlantis.

With three sea days, playtime continues onboard  Anthem of the Seas ® — including a ride in the North Star® sightseeing capsule for a birds-eye view of the glittering Bahamian islands.

4. Best For An Easy Couple's Getaway

What's better than two days in beautiful Bermuda? Two more fun-filled days aboard Liberty of the Seas ®. Royal Caribbean's five-night Bermuda cruise from Cape Liberty is offered on 15 dates from May to October in 2024 and these cruises from New York make an ideal couple's getaway. The itinerary mixes Bermuda's history, stunning landscapes and legendary dark rums with the onboard spa treatments and romantic specialty dining that Royal Caribbean guests love.

Liberty of the Seas ® spends two days at the Royal Naval Dockyard, which offers access to nearby shopping and museums as well as shore excursions to historic St. George's, scenic Horseshoe Bay and the island's capital, Hamilton.

5. Best For Your First Transatlantic Crossing

It's hard to imagine anything better than enjoying your first transatlantic cruise onboard the spectacular Anthem of the Seas ®. There's the luxury of time and space as you cross the sea, plus stops in four European countries.

Your experience during the crossing is just as important as your days spent in Europe. While the sun is out, head for the Solarium pool, an indoor, adults-only oasis, or the Vitality℠ Spa for a rejuvenating facial or tension-taming massage. At night, enjoy shows at the Royal Theater, rock cover bands in Music Hall and explore your favorite global cuisines in the main dining room or one of the ship's seven specialty restaurants.

After crossing the Atlantic, the ship's April 2024 cruise calls on Funchal, Madeira, a Portuguese island known for its spectacular scenery and Madeira wine-tasting rooms. Then you'll visit La Coruna, Spain for a day spent exploring the city's ancient Roman heritage and seafood-centric culinary scene. With 12 hours in Le Havre, France, you can take a quick day trip to Paris to see the Eiffel Tower, and after departing in Southampton, England, it's easy to end your dream journey with a few nights in London.

Royal family tours Albany's NY CREATES, ignites US-Netherlands semiconductor pact

by Emma Quinn

ALBANY, NY (WRGB) — A historic visit to Albany as the royal family from the Netherlands spent Wednesday touring the NY CREATES semi chip conductor center.

The tour is setting the stage for the future of the semi chip conductor industry as the Netherlands and New York state signing off on a partnership based on collaboration and innovation.

“To Queen Maxima and I, this feels a bit like coming home because the can-do mentality here at NY CREATES reminds us strongly of the Netherlands,” said King Willum-Alexander. “It's fascinating to see how here in Albany you have created a fertile ecosystem for groundbreaking innovation."

King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima toured New York creating facilities and fabs Wednesday.

The tour included going into clean rooms and experiencing chip manufacturing up close and personal; the tour marking the start of the historic endeavor.

“It will allow for free flowing exchange of ideas and best practices as we work together to move this industry forward,” said Governor Hochul.

RELATED: Landmark $10 billion investment to boost research at Albany NanoTech

Through the partnership engineers and experts will work towards creating a smaller more efficient chip, building workforce development in both countries, while looking to maintain sustainability.

“An achievement that we can be proud of, so we need to keep working to stay ahead and enhance investment in more reliant supply chains that will decrease our vulnerabilities and give us more independence from third countries,” said Liesje Schreinemacher, the Netherlands Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation.

The King went on to say; "Those connections are our greatest strength, so it is fantastic to see our leading centers of nanotechnology and semiconductors working to enhance their ties even further. The United States and the Netherlands are a perfect match, they've been here for years."

Academic partnerships also included starting this summer as 5 SUNY students will travel to the Netherlands for training on semi chip conductors and photonics.

“Above all it's the result of joining forces of putting together the brightest people, the best facilities, and the boldest ideas,” said the King.

Overall, the Netherlands are credited with helping build the semi chip conductor industry in New York.

Governor Hochul said, “Six months ago we unveiled a historic 10-million-dollar partnership that will establish NY Creates Albany Nanotech as one of the most advanced semiconductor research and development facilities in North America and what was the key to that? A Dutch company, a Dutch company helped us make that happen.``

On the NY CREATES campus, construction is underway for a new fab that will house a Dutch company’s next generation semi-chip manufacturing machine

Were told it's the size of a bus and puts the state one step closer to the goal to housing a national semiconductor center.

Currently, NYC's Brooklyn Terminal serves Cunard Line and MSC .

All these ports/cruise terminals are part of the "Port of New York and New Jersey" - a port district in the New York Metro (total population 20,1+ million).

Around 8,1 million New Yorkers live on Long Island (population density 5860 per mi2/2262 per km2).

NYC cruise port

Port NYC NJ (officially "Port of New York and New Jersey") handles a huge cargo shipping volume and is US East Coast's biggest seaport.

Port's cruise schedule lists voyages the whole year round. During winter are popular southbound itineraries – to the Caribbean and Bahamas. During summer are operated mainly roundtrips to Bermuda as well as Transatlantic crossings (USA-UK/ Southampton ). In autumn are offered "Fall Foliage" cruises to Canada and New England USA.

In May 2013, Port NYC started a project to raise Bayonne Bridge in order to allow access to the world's largest container ships  to the cargo ports of New York City and New Jersey (Elizabeth and Newark). The project also included dredging (deepening) the navigation channel.

On September 7, 2017, the boxship CMA CGM Theodore Roosevelt (2015-built, IMO 9780873) passed under the elevated Bayonne Bridge. The vessel has TEU capacity 14855 containers, LOA length 366 m, volume 152,991 GT-tons. It became the largest ship to pass under the Bayonne Bridge.

On September 28, 2023, NYC's Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC/1991-founded nonprofit) announced new port usage agreements (for Manhattan's and Brooklyn's terminals) signed with Carnival Corporation, NCLH-Norwegian and MSC. The agreements were designed to increase revenues and sustainability/emissions reduction, with term lengths ranging between 3-15 years, each with an optional 5-year renewal.

The 2023-signed agreements included establishing a Community Priority Fund (by adding US$1 per cruise passenger; to be used for projects in the cruise terminals' neighborhoods/Red Hook and Midtown Manhattan), planning ground transportation (improvements to maximize public transportation/reducing road traffic), reducing CO emissions (where feasible, including shore power connections/all cruise ships in NYC must be equipped with the technology by 2028), increasing local provisioning and developing educational partnerships with NYC-based institutions.

Port New York and New Jersey

Port New York and New Jersey is the seaport of NYC metro. It encompasses an area with a radius ~25 mi (40 km) and includes all navigable waterways in NY–NJ Harbor Estuary. The covered coastline is around 650 mi (1050 km) along both states. NYC Harbor is among the world's largest natural harbors. By annual cargo capacity, the seaport is ranked USA's 3rd largest - after South Louisiana (Mississippi River) and Houston (Texas).

Within the seaport there are 2 FTZs (foreign-trade zones) where commercial goods (domestic and foreign) receive same Customs treatment as outside USA. Annually, Port NY-NJ handles around USD 208 billion in shipping cargoes, around 3,4 million TEU's (shipping containers) and nearly 0,4 million cars.

• In July 2017, the port's largest container ship so far (CMA CGM Theodore Roosevelt - 14,400 TEUs ) passed under the raised Bayonne Bridge.
• The channels (as draft) and the bridges (as heights) limit the vessels that can enter the harbor.
• Verrazano-Narrows Bridge's clearance is 228 ft (67 m).
• Brooklyn Bridge's clearance is 135 ft (41 m).
• Bayonne Bridge's clearance (lowered-raised) is  155-215 ft (47-65,5 m).

The company "Port Authority of New York and New Jersey" was established in 1921 to manage all facilities and services within the combined NY-NJ harbor area. The company also controls all vehicular and rapid-transit systems connecting New York and New Jersey, several airports, as well as real estate developments. It also maintains its own police force.

US Army Corps of Engineers are involved in regular harbor maintenance works (bulkhead and channels). USCG (Coast Guard) maintains all floatable debris and marine accidents and incidents (spills, rescues, counter-terrorism operations). Both states (NY and NJ) maintain maritime police units. US Customs and Border Protection and US Immigration and Customs agencies regulate international shipping imports and cruise passenger arrivals.

Port's foreign trade zones - FTZ 1 (New York) and FTZ 49 (New Jersey)  handled in 2010 a combined shipping traffic of 4811 vessels and over 32,2 million tons of cargoes valued USD 175+ billion.

In March 2006, some passenger terminals were transferred (as management) to DP World ( Dubai -based corporation).

The seaport has 4x containership terminals, ranking it (by combined volume) the US East Coast's largest, USA's 3rd busiest and the world's 20th largest cargo port. Terminals are leased to private operators.

• Howland Hook Marine Terminal (northwestern Staten Island)
• Port Newark-Elizabeth Marine Terminal (Newark Bay)
• Port Jersey Marine Terminal and Red Hook Marine Terminal (both in Upper New York Bay)
• Maher Terminals LLC operates the port's largest containership facilities, served by a total of 11x Liebherr STS (ship-to-shore) megamax container cranes.

NY-NJ port's main imports are petroleum, appliances, vehicles, plastics, electronics, chemicals, perfumes, pharmaceuticals, optical and photographic materials, precious gems and metals.

ExpressRail network supports intermodal freight transport interconnecting all major terminals. In 2014, the total number of handled intermodal TEUs was 391,596. Most imports are transported in TEUs. Petroleum and scrap metals are handled at bulk cargo terminals, many of which are located along the port's straits and canals.

• New York New Jersey Railroad serves freight cars across Upper Bay, connecting Jersey City with Brooklyn (between Greenville Yard and Bush Terminal Yard). The 4 km crossing takes 45 min.
• Cross-Harbor Rail Tunnel is a proposed project under Upper Bay, with western portal at Greenville Yard and eastern portal still undetermined.

Cruise ships and ferries in Port New York and New Jersey dock at the berths of Cape Liberty Cruise Port (Upper Bay, Bayonne NJ) , Brooklyn Cruise Terminal (Upper Bay, NYC) and New York Passenger Ship Terminal (Hudson River, NYC).

• Regularly scheduled ferry service across Upper Bay connects South Ferry with St George Ferry Terminal, serving daily around 75,000 passengers.
• Major ferry terminals are Hoboken, Battery Park City, Paulus Hook, Weehawken Port Imperial, Pier 11, West Midtown and the East 34th Street Landing. Most smaller-sized ferries serve only 1 route.
• Small boats operate leisure tours, excursions and NYC harbor cruises. They circumnavigate Manhattan or navigate into Upper New York Bay.

In July 2017, through bidding, Ports America won a contract for operating Manhattan and Brooklyn cruise terminals until 2029. The deal required investments of USD 38,5 million in infrastructure improvements, including Pier 90 berth rehabilitation, extended aprons, new fenders. Brooklyn Pier was extended by 45-60 m (150-200 ft) to allow berthing for larger boats. Construction works started in 2018.

Season 2018 featured two large newbuild liners - Carnival Horizon (133500 GT-tons, 4700 passengers) and Norwegian Bliss (168000 GT-tons, 4900 passengers).

New York ferries

In 2018 was inaugurated the ferry line connecting Bayonne NJ with Manhattan (across Hudson River).

A US$650,000 federal grant was given to the city for the building of a new ferry terminal. The facility is on the southern part of the Military Ocean Terminal, on an artificial peninsula east of NJ Route 440.

The 1,5-acre land site (former US Navy base) was purchased in 2010 and leased for ferry docking at US$200,000 per year.

In the previous year (2017) NYC Ferry inaugurated the commute ferry service linking Manhattan with Long Island (Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Bronx). In 2016, NYC Ferry's fleet consisted of 19 newbuild boats.

• On May 1st were launched the East River route (North Brooklyn to Midtown and NYC's Financial District) and the Rockaway route (Lower Manhattan to Sunset Park and The Rockaways).
• On June 1st was launched the South Brooklyn route (8 terminals/between Corlears Hook and Bay Ridge) linking Bay Ridge, Sunset Park, Red Hook, Brooklyn Bridge Park.
• On August 29th was launched the Astoria route (between Western Queens and Roosevelt Island) linking Wall Street/Pier 11, East 34th Street, LIC/Long Island City Queens, Roosevelt Island Manhattan, and Astoria Queens.

In August 2018, NYC Ferry launched a link between Soundview (South Bronx) and Manhattan. The landing site in Bronx is at Clason Point Park (Sound View Ave's end). The nearest subway station (Morrison Ave-Sound View) is 2 mi (3 km) away. Ferry travel time Bronx-Manhattan is 45-min. In Manhattan, ferries stop at 90th St (Upper East Side), East 34th Str (Midtown), Pier 11 (Wall Str). Currently, NYC Ferry operates 6 routes.

New York cruise terminal

The following NY & NJ cruise port map shows the locations of all three cruise terminals (NYC's Manhattan and Brooklyn, and Bayonne NJ's Cape Liberty).

NYC Manhattan Cruise Terminal

The Manhattan passenger terminal is on Hudson River (on Manhattan Island's shoreline), located is between West 44 and West 52 streets. Both Newark International Airport and LaGuardia Airport are located approx 15 mi (24 km) away, while JFK International Airport is approx 20 mi (32 km) away.

This NYC cruise terminal has 3 wharves – Pier 88 (2 berths), Pier 90 (2 berths), and Pier 92 (1 overflow berth). They can accommodate up to 5 cruise liners simultaneously and each has a fully-functioning passenger terminal building. Manhattan terminal serves NCL Norwegian , Carnival Cruise Line and Holland America . At Pier 92's south side dock large liners.

In early 2017, NYC Economic Development Corporation selected Ports America as long-term cruise ship terminal operator for both Brooklyn (1 berth) and Manhattan (Pier 88 and Pier 90), Ports America also supplies cruise ship provisions for vessels docked at Pier 92.

At the top of all the piers, there is a building with dedicated parking lots, snack bars, restrooms, check-in, VIP areas, customs, newsstands.

• Address: "Manhattan Terminal, 711 12th Avenue, New York, NY 10019"
• Manhattan Terminal parking: daily parking rate ($18, for 10 hours), overnight rate ($23, for 24 hours). Theparking rate for multiple days is $20 daily.

NYC Brooklyn Cruise Terminal

Located across Governors Island, Brooklyn NYC cruise port terminal is in Red Hook. LaGuardia Airport is 12 miles away, Newark International Airport – 16 miles away and JFK International Airport is 20 miles away.

Brooklyn New York cruise ship terminal used to be a cargo port. You will get very ”industrial feel”. The terminal building on Pier 12 is a new one. The facilities are vending machines, check-in, restrooms and customs. There is a parking area with 500 spots. Brooklyn New York cruise port terminal can accommodate only one ship. It serves Princess Cruises and Cunard ships.

• Address: "Brooklyn Cruise Terminal, Pier 12, Brooklyn, NY 11231"
• Brooklyn Terminal parking rates (subject to change): $35 daily.

Brooklyn cruise terminal's shorepower

Since 2016, Brooklyn Cruise Terminal provides shore-power .

The shore-to-ship electric power supply project was first announced in 2011.

Cunard's liner RMS Queen Mary 2 was the first-ever vessel (officially plugged-in on November 12th, 2016).

The US$21 million system was signed off by the New York and New Jersey Port Authority and turned over to the NYC Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC), which currently oversees the cruise shipping program for Brooklyn and Manhattan. As of September 2016, NYCEDC has responsibility for the system's operations and maintenance.

The plug-in shorepower was installed by Cochran Marine. This is a dual-voltage system targeted for use by Cunard Line and  Princess Cruises , which are the terminal’s primary customers. The Terminal's cable positioning device is removable, so it can be stored during winter.

Connecting to Con Edison power grid, the shorepower system allows ships to run their onboard systems without using diesel generators. This eliminates ~1500 tons of CO2, ~95 tons of NOx, and ~6,5 tons of soot/particulate matter annually.

In 2010, the NY-NJ Port Authority estimated that improvement to air quality could yield public health benefits of USD 99 million over 15 years. That was a key element for community groups around the terminal’s Red Hook neighborhood to start pushing for shore power. Beyond the infrastructure cost, the project was delayed by haggling over the price of electrical power – in an era where cheap fuel prices made shipboard generation more economical. The power costs are subsidized in part by the EDC and the New York Power Authority, with terminal user Carnival Corp picking up the rest. As part of an agreement,  Carnival Corporation pays USD 12 cents per kilowatt-hour for shorepower.

Costs were ~USD 10 million (to service one slip) and involve substantial infrastructure improvements. Ship operators must spend ~USD 1 million to make a vessel shorepower-ready. Demand on the energy grid is substantial too. A typical container ship in port uses about as much energy as a single terminal at Boston ’s Logan Airport, while RMS Queen Mary 2 requires 13 megawatts (equal to the entire airport).

New Jersey Cape Liberty cruise terminal (Royal Caribbean)

In October 2014, RCCL-Royal Caribbean and NYC Port Authority dedicated a Cape Liberty cruise terminal for the RCI's ship Quantum OTS. The new terminal started operations on November 10, 2014.

The new facility is located at Port Terminal Blvd (Bayonne waterfront), adjacent to the Tear Drop Memorial (Russia-built 10–story sculpture). The US$55 million building project included port expansion with a new passenger terminal, featuring a total covered area of 125000 ft2 (11600 m2) that hosts check-in, customs and immigration, luggage storage and processing area, parking area (capacity 950 cars/costs US$25 per day including taxes) and also improvements of the existing docking pier. The new terminal building is adjacent to the 2004-inaugurated terminal.

Port Cape Liberty is in close proximity to EWR-Newark Liberty Airport (10 mi / 16 km to the west, ~20-min travel time by car) and easy to access, skipping NYC's heavy traffic and bridges.

• Empire State Building: don’t miss that famed building. It is 1050 ft tall. You can take a look from the airy promenade after a great lift to the Observatory.
• Central Park: the iconic park dates from 1857. It is a large landscaped area where you can enjoy the Zoo, the Botanical Gardens, the Bethesda fountain, the Great Lawn and Belvedere Castle.
• Metropolitan Museum of Art: located between East 81 and East 82, dates from 1870. Discover artworks of famous artists – Aristotle with a Bust of Homer by Rembrandt, Wheat Field with Cypresses by Van Gogh, Young Woman with a Water Pitcher by Vermeer and The Unicorn in Captivity, medieval tapestry.
• Brooklyn Bridge: the bridge dates from the late 19th century. It spans across the East River. The Brooklyn Bridge and the views across Brooklyn, Upper Bay and Manhattan are breathtaking.
• Brooklyn Botanic Garden: 39 acres with beautiful gardens. Walk through the Bonsai Museum, the Tropical Pavilion, the Aquatic House and the Desert Pavilion. You can also have a coffee, buy a gift or something from the garden store.

Amber Gray Joins Cast of Royal Pyrate Workshop Tour

The cast also features Eric William Morris, Eddie Cooper, and Lauren Molina.

Tony nominee Amber Gray ( Hadestown ) joins the cast of the new musical The Royal Pyrate in the role of Mary Hallet, the fabled “Witch of Wellfleet.” The cast also includes Eric William Morris ( King Kong ) as the pirate Black Sam Bellamy, Eddie Cooper ( Dead Outlaw ) as the dread pirate Blackbeard, and Lauren Molina ( Sweeney Todd ) as Paulsgrave Williams.

The Royal Pyrate , directed by Hunter Bird, will have a “workshop tour” that will begin at the Almanack Arts Colony on Nantucket Island August 20-21, before continuing to New York City, where it will play at the Waterfront Barge Museum in Red Hook, Brooklyn August 24-25.

The Royal Pyrate is a new musical that reimagines the 300-year-old love story of the pirate Black Sam Bellamy and Mary Hallet, a woman so ahead of her time she is accused of witchcraft in colonial Massachusetts. Based on the real history of the golden age of piracy, the 100-minute musical features an original score and lyrics by Jason Landon Marcus and a book by Chas LiBretto. The pair previously collaborated on Pulitzer-nominated Cyclops: A Rock Opera . They began their work together on The Royal Pyrate as members of Ars Nova’s musical theater writing lab Uncharted.

The score to The Royal Pyrate , which is a fusion of sea shanty, roots rock, and pirate music, will be performed by Merman, an aquadellic surf band from Westchester County. Listen to a song from the musical performed by Amber Gray here .

Experience the best of NYC in this guided half-day tour that goes beyond the sizzling sights of Manhattan, as we visit the most famous landmarks in The Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn. Get a sneak peek into the local lifestyle of these diverse and vibrant boroughs, including jazz, theater, street art, beautiful parks, and two of America’s favorite baseball stadiums! The picturesque contrasts are what life in NYC is all about, and there is truly something for everyone to enjoy during this inspirational tour of the Big Apple.

Although images of Manhattan spring to mind when we think of NYC, there is so much more to be experienced within the Big Apple! This half-day tour will take you on a culturally enriching journey through The Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn, as you ride in our comfortable air-conditioned vehicle to visit some of the most treasured sights and historical landmarks in these popular NYC boroughs.

Our first stop will be in the prominent Jazz neighborhood of Harlem, including a stop at the renowned Apollo Theater. Some of the most celebrated performers in America’s history began their legendary careers on this very stage, including Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Sammy Davis Jr., Gladys Knight, and Lauryn Hill.

The experience continues as we head North out of Manhattan into the Bronx, straight to the famed Yankee Stadium. Within these walls, some of the most legendary Yankee players of all time have left a lasting legacy, including Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle, Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, and of course, the one and only Babe Ruth. The stadium is grand, modern, and impressive, yet with a deep sense of honor and tradition that can be felt from the moment it comes into view.

We’ll continue our exploration of The Bronx with a visit to the “Joker Stairs”, an iconic landmark from the 2019 film Joker . You’ll also see a number of wall murals painted by creative street artists, including the “I Love The Bronx Mural”, an artistic interpretation of the history of the Bronx from past to present. As we ride along, our experienced tour guide will provide details about this famous street art and the fascinating history of The Bronx.

Next up is Queens, where we’ll take a peaceful stroll through Flushing Meadows Corona Park, which has many remnants from the 1964 World’s Fair, including the UniSphere. This unique steel sphere is surrounded by cascading waves of water that create the illusion of it being suspended in the air! You may also recognize it from the movie Men in Black.

Sports fans will love our sights of the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, the heart of the US Open, and Citi Field, the home of the NY Mets. Both of these amazing sports landmarks are located in Queens.

We’ll round out this half-day tour in Brooklyn, where we’ll explore the Williamsburg neighborhood, which is well-known for its large population of Hasidic Jews. Then we’ll head to Brooklyn’s waterfront, featuring world-famous panoramic views of Manhattan’s skyline that will take your breath away.

New york yankees at kansas city royals odds, picks and predictions, share this article.

The New York Yankees (46-21) and Kansas City Royals (39-27) tangle Monday as they open a 3-game set in Missouri. The opening pitch at Kauffman Stadium is scheduled for 8:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Yankees vs. Royals odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Yankees won 4-2 last year

The Yankees are coming off dropping 2 of 3 to the Los Angeles Dodgers over the weekend. They went into that series on an 8-game win streak, so they are 9-2 over their last 11 games.

The Royals are 2-1 on a current home stand. They have cooled since a late-May win streak and are just 5-8 across their last 13 games.

Yankees at Royals projected starters

LHP Carlos Rodon vs. RHP Seth Lugo

Rodon (8-2, 3.08 ERA) is making his 14th start. He has a 1.08 WHIP, 2.5 BB/9 and 8.8 K/9 in 73 IP.

• Last outing: Win, 6 IP, 2 ER, 3 H, 0 BB, 9 K in 9-5 home victory vs. Minnesota Twins Wednesday
• Career vs. Royals: 3-6, 5.27 ERA (54 2/3 IP, 32 ER), 70 H, 20 BB, 55 K in 11 starts
• Owns a 6.82 ERA across 7 career starts at Kauffman Stadium (.917 OPS allowed)

Lugo (9-1, 2.13 ERA) is tabbed for his 14th start. He has a 1.02 WHIP, 2.0 BB/9 and 7.6 K/9 in 84 1/3 IP.

• Last outing: No-decision, 6 IP, 5 ER, 6 H, 1 BB, 5 K in 8-5 loss at Cleveland Guardians Tuesday
• Career vs. Yankees: 4-1, 2.53 ERA (21 1/3 IP, 6 ER), 14 H, 8 BB, 31 K in 2 starts and 10 relief appearances
• Has been aided by a .250 batting average on balls in play (.170 BABIP with runners in scoring position)

Yankees at Royals odds

Provided by BetMGM Sportsbook ; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 9:20 a.m. ET.

• Moneyline: Yankees -130 (bet $130 to win $100) | Royals +110 (bet $100 to win $110)
• Against the spread (ATS): Yankees -1.5 (+125) | Royals +1.5 (-155)
• Over/Under (O/U): 8.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

Yankees at Royals picks and predictions

Yankees 6, Royals 4

New York is 10-4 over its last 14 games at K.C.

Kansas City figures as being several games too far out over its skis in being a dozen games over .500. Lugo is a pitcher who has benefited from generous rates around the margins, and he is backed by a less-than-stellar Royals bullpen.

There is also some fade to Rodon’s surface numbers, and the Yanks are coming off a Sunday-night game and travel west. So, both ends of this matchup can be dinged in certain categories. But peg the Yankees, a club that has won 5 in a row on the road, as worth a partial-unit play for the straight-up win

FanDuel Sportsbook offers a more attractive tag here: BACK NEW YORK ( -126 ).

Run line/Against the spread

The Yankee’s offense travels. With robust road numbers coming from the bats, New York is 22-13 against the RL away from Yankee Stadium.

And the Over is a likable play. It’s the strongest play for this matchup, in fact. But the return on Yankees -1.5 (+125) is a tad light.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now !

The Over has cashed in 9 of Kansas City’s last 10 home games. The Royals have banged out a .794 OPS at home for the season; since May 7, they have averaged 6.71 runs per game at Kauffman Stadium.

Both starting pitchers figure to be overrated by surface numbers not supported by underpinning talent indicators. And per ESPN, current K.C. batters have clocked a .980 OPS against Rodon.

The Royals bullpen has been torched for a 4.91 ERA since May 1. The Over is 6-3 across the last 9 series meetings and is the best option for this Monday lid-lifter at Kauffman Stadium.

BACK THE OVER 8.5 ( -110 ).

While waiting for the first pitch or on off days, you can fill that time with online casino games including slots, blackjack and more, at some of the best legal casinos in the US.
