In 1888 the worst winter storm in the city’s history hit New York City, dumping 22 inches of snow on the Five Boroughs. Over 400 people died and many buildings burnt down from fires. Most notably, the East River froze and New Yorkers were able to walk across the frozen river between Brooklyn and Manhattan. #eastriver #nychistory #brooklyn #dumbo #downtown #brooklynbridge #fultonferry #1888 #blizzardof1888 #nytimes #manhattanhistory #nyhistory #brooklynhistory #brooklynbridgepark #dumbo #southstreetseaport #brooklynheights (at East River) https://www.instagram.com/p/CY9ZB4LlRvK/?utm_medium=tumblr

Fulton Landing Fireboat House. Before there was a Brooklyn Bridge, people use the ferry docks here to go between Brooklyn and Manhattan. .

#MapMondays! For #MapMonday this week we are looking at the map one of NYC's newest and exciting modes of public transit – NYC Ferry! Ferries were one of the first modes of transportation for New Yorkers long before bridges spanned the city's rivers and now ferries are back and better than ever. The ferry system is a fast, affordable and enjoyable alternative to subways and busses. The @nyc_ferry routes have expanded over the past years, with the addition of Bronx and Upper East Side last week! Ferries also have a bar, and an outdoor seating area to take in the view of the city as you sail under the Brooklyn Bridge or out to Rockaway Beach – it doesn't get much better than that! Tired of hot platforms, subways delays and traffic? Try the NYC Ferry this season! Do you take the #NYC #Ferry? Share your experience below! #transitmap #nycferry #transitmaps #soundview #bronx #rockaway #rockawaybeach #uppereastside #transitorienteddevelopment #numtot #urbanism #fultonferry #eastriver #hudsonriver #transit #nycsubway #publictransit #nycurbanism (at NYC Ferry)
