This is a really nice museum down in th Seaport. It's not the biggest, but for $5 it's worth every penny if you're down there. I'm happy that it has re-opened, the space by itself is worth it.
Volunteering on the historic ships is possibly the coolest thing to do in New York City!
- Little museum that could. Exhibits and shop are open following Sandy. Worth the stairs to see the exhibits.

Janice LeungSeptember 14, 2013They have a room of block letter printing machines on display, and also some awsome prints for sale!
A gem. Skip the mall, check out the ships, Bowne, and the liner exhibit. Once you're hooked, become a volunteer to spend Saturdays on the water!
- Go for a sail on Pioneer or a cruise on W.O. Decker! Visit the exhibitions in the museum and spend some time at Bowne & Co.
