Kids had ‘ferry’ good time on Lunchbox boat
A group of second graders from Bay Ridge got the thrill of their young lives on Wednesday when they were treated to a ride on one of the NYC Ferry vessels traveling from the 69th Street Pier to Manhattan. Dozens of children enjoyed a relaxing ride aboard the Lunchbox, one of the ferries in the city’s recently launched South Brooklyn route.
And it was only fitting that the students get to see the Lunchbox up close, since it was a Bay Ridge second grader who came up with the name for the 26-meter, aluminum-built ferry.
Students from P.S. 170 and P.S. 102 were invited by officials from the New York City Economic Development Corporation to take a ride on Lunchbox.
