New York's Pier 45 is a cruise ship pier around Manhattan and to the Statue of Liberty. It's crowded and noisy, but the lawn park outside the pier is still beautiful. You can play in the park first, then queue up at the pier.
Pier 45 is very busy. It's a place for touring boats to visit the Statue of Liberty. People come and go around, and you can see many people sunbathing or cycling on the grass. On the wharf shore, you can enjoy the cruise ships at sea and feel the fresh sea breeze.
