Staff friendly, live guide's commentary is very basic, very repetitive...Eat before you reach pier, no food options available nearby Pier 83...very limited food options available on boat ( hot dogs $4.50, potato chips $3.00, 16oz. can of beer $9.50) and very expensive ...Boat route runs south to Statue of Liberty , makes a u-turn , and then directly north up Hutson River back to 42nd Street pier..
