How easy is it to pick up a cab after the film? We are from the UK on holiday and want to see On The Waterfront but are unsure how to get a cab back to Manhattan afterwards. Thanks for your help
You can easily call a car service to either Valentino Pier or one of the establishments on Van Brunt Street if you’d like to go for a bite or a drink afterward. Try Arecibo: (718) 783-6465.
Citibike is my favorite way to get to Red Hook! There are 3 Citibike racks within a 5-minute walk of Valentino Pier!
