The day before the Office 2003 launch, three of us went on a cruise that circled Manhattan. We started at a pier on the west side, went south, turned into the East River to go up the east side of Manhattan, turned west into the Harlem River, then down the Hudson River to where we started. These pictures (roughly?) follow that path.
