flahagan Posted August 20, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 20, 2018 We will be flying in to LGA for the Oct. 6 New England cruise and will taxi to the cruise pier. Any suggestions as to where we can purchase our 1 bottle of wine each to bring on board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions as to where we can purchase our 1 bottle of wine each to bring on board? According to googlemaps, Wet Whistle Wines is 1/2 mile from there. Go to googlemaps, locate the cruise terminal, click on nearby and specify Wine Store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted August 20, 2018 #3 Share Posted August 20, 2018 No easy way to walk to a wine store. You will have to ask your driver to stop at the most convenient store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need2cruisesoon Posted August 20, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 20, 2018 We did this last year. Their are a couple liquor stores on VanBrundt street, we picked up 8 bottles prior to boarding. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahagan Posted August 20, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted August 20, 2018 8 bottles?! Wouldn't that be great if that was for 2 people! Trying to decide if we want to do carry-on or check-in for luggage on the plane. I know some will wonder how in the world you could do a cruise with carry-on, but in January I did 14 nights in Thailand and just got back from a week in Germany, all with carry-on. However, those 2 bottles of wine are important, lol! So it sounds like we could just ask the taxi driver to stop at a wine store on the way.

Mademypoint Posted August 20, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 20, 2018 If you are checking luggage why not get them before you leave? There are plenty of ways to package them so they don't break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatestvalue Posted August 20, 2018 #7 Share Posted August 20, 2018 There is a Costco 4.6 miles from the airport. I think Uber or Lyft will make 1 extra stop when you ride with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good Ship Planet Posted August 20, 2018 #8 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Drop off your luggage at the terminal, then walk two blocks to Van Brunt Street. Turn right on Van Brunt and head to Dry Dock Wines at 424 Van Brunt. About 10 minutes total walk, unless you stop to check out some of the funky shops! Dry Dock has lovely service -- friendly and knowledgeable. Even though I am in Manhattan most workdays, Dry Dock is my go-to place in Red Hook where I live. p.s. We LOVE watching the ships go right past our house! Sometimes people even wave to us! Have a terrific trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
