Do you want to go to Manhattan for NYC Restaurant Week, but don't feel like dealing with city traffic and parking? NY Waterway ferries is offering all food enthusiasts a delicious, hassle-free, traffic-free cruise to get you there.  

NYC Restaurant Week, running now through August 16, comes with a summer discount from NY Waterway. Specially priced $13 round-trip tickets, a $5 discount, are offered between Port Imperial in Weehawken, NJ and West 39th Street in Manhattan.
