Dadi, They have 200 foot long cruise boats (Circle Line) going thru the East River, Harlem River and Hell Gate. It gave the old sailing ships a bad time but modern powered boats have no problem at all. There is the occasional report of kids dropping stones and debris from bridges overhead, but that is rare, and can happen anywhere. It's a nice trip, and it's safe, I've made it dozens of times, all without incident.
