Connecting New Yorkers to the benefits of our harbor. A living lab for better urban waterways.
PortSide offers public programs on the deck of our historic ship MARY A. WHALEN once it is consistently warm enough to make this comfortable. May through September is usually our season. Until that time, and all year round, the deck is open for you to enjoy during TankerTime with kids toys. tables and charis year round. The BookTent, ArtTable and hammocks come out during the warm months. As of 5/3/24, we are waiting for NYC EDC and DockNYC approval of our proposed May and June programs and hope to be able to announce them soon.
PortSide offers a new way to ease into the weekend - Friday sunsets by the firepit! There will be a book reading for kids - if families with kids show up - in the free library in our new BookTent on deck.
There’s toasting marshmallows for all ages (we provide marshmallow), BYOB.
FREE. Donations appreciated.
Dogs must be kept on leash to keep our ship cat Chiclet safe and happy.
