No problem, glad you like the pictures! It's such a beautiful place, isn't it?

That makes sense. It would be nice if there were a better commercial area around there, a not-too-tall-built place for strolling and eating and drinking and sitting, and of course housing...and then of course good transit. But arriving near the city center is nice, too.

It was nice when I worked on one and walked 10 minutes home to Hell's Kitchen after docking. Actually I think the terminal there is good; I've been aboard a few ships and it's so convenient when you can walk into town. Why should NYC be different? Maybe downtown makes more sense if there's room.

Definitely. It was crazy that I had to take a bus to visit my partner directly across the Hudson from me. Only solution was to move in together.

You are forgiven and the world is in balance again, as I mistakenly walked the north side last month, forgetting that they had opened the south side since the previous time I crossed the bridge on foot.
