Nearest subway station include the South Ferry Subway Station, Whitehall Street Subway Station and Bowling Green Subway Station. The South Ferry building used to serve as the terminal for the elevated train lines that run up Second, Third, Sixth and Ninth Avenues. These lines are however no longer in operation since the service was terminated in 1955.

The South Ferry Building, long thought even by the locals to denote its location as the ferry terminal on the southern tip of Manhattan, was actually named after a ferry known as South Ferry. It was one of the ferry boats that carried passengers between the then New York City (now Manhattan) and Brooklyn.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
