Manhattan by Sail’s new Clipper City is an exact replica of an 1854 tall ship. On days when the temperature hits 90, a ride is just $10—provided you’re a New York City resident. Otherwise, 90-minute cruises are $39 a person (kids 12 and under $17). The Clipper City departs from Pier 17 daily through October at 10 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 3 p.m., and 7 p.m. (212-619-0907).
