The Setting
Old warehouses and stationary boats flank the reconstructed landing where the whimsical words of Walt Whitman (a former neighbor) are incorporated into the design.

The Mood
Everything you want it to be and more. Let's put it this way: Even brides, the world's worst perfectionists, adore this spot for their wedding photos. The boats, the skyscrapers, the Brooklyn Bridge: Get the picture? It's best to go at sunset and watch the sky turn to evening dusk as the city goes from night to day.
