If you've ever found yourself landlocked on a hot summer day, wishing you knew someone who had a boat, we've got good news for you. In Lower Manhattan, the "someone with a boat" is actually the South Street Seaport Museum, which offers delightful, two-hour sailing trips on its 1885 schooner, Pioneer. We set sail on the 19-century vessel last week for a sunset ride, taking in the historic sights and relaxing sounds of the New York Harbor. All of the experiences offered on Pioneer are between $20-$70 and are BYOB - a perfect way to live large in the summertime while staying on budget. Find out everything else you can expect from a ride on the schooner on our website at downtownny.com. Bon voyage!

Want to meet a Peacock Flounder? ?? Join us for a dive. ?? Who's that 1 Clever Fish Who'll Never See You Below? While juveniles begin life with eyes on both sides of their body, the Peacock Flounder's right eye migrates towards the left as they mature, leaving both eyes on one side looking to the sky. Pretty amazing for a fish that camouflages seamlessly with his perch, which he can not see below him, yet if blind or if his eye is damaged he will struggle to camouflage with his surround.
