army terminal to wall street to a spicy cab

This Wednesday was gorgeous up here. Unfortunately it was uber busy at work (seeing about 20 patients!). But TS provided an excellend adventure after work to unwind.
We have meaning to ride the ferry here in Bay Ridge for quite some time, and Wed was to be the day.
The ferry leaves the Brooklyn Army Terminal on 58th St and rides up the bay, along Red Hook to Pier 11 at Wall Street, just south of the South Street Seaport.
Granted, by the time we were aboard, the weather was changing to a rather murky greengray (this is not our photo of the view), but because of a reverse commute/ride, we had the ENTIRE boat to ourselves! We stayed up in the bow for most of the time, although the inside has 8 person booths available (which seems odd for a commuter boat, but whatever).
Once docked, and regaining our land legs, we headed north for our first outside dinning experience of the year. Where was to be the destination? well, we felt a little touristy (especially walking around Stone St in a fleece jacket . . . this area seems exclusively designer suit wear) so we decided on Caliente Cab* where some delicious mole and margaritas was had.
All and all a lovely first evening of spring.
To bad its f'in snowing right now.


*I just googled Caliente to get the link, but I spelled it wrong, as Calente, and the first site up, was my very own website! yeah LK, you can really spell well.
