New York City began in Lower Manhattan, where the water meets the land. At the South Street Seaport, you can still feel that history: Brooklyn across the river, the bridges to one side, the sweep of the harbor to the other. Families, visitors, ships, and waterfront scenes create endless sketching opportunities.
