Waterside Plaza is at the intersection of 23rd Street and the FDR. The nearest train is the 6 to 23rd Street, or the
L to First Avenue (and honestly, neither is that close -- allow yourself 15 minutes walking). Several buses will get you closer. The M16 is best, and the M15 and M9 will also get you quite close. Only the M16 crosses the FDR. Best crossing points on foot are at 23rd Street (street level), and 25th Street
(walkway) -- or walking up from the East River Park is nice (cross at 8th, 10th and Houston).

Battery Park is the base of Manhattan -- most Manhattan lines have a stop nearby (be wary -- the J/M/Z doesn't on the weekend!), but the best are the 1 to South Ferry (all ten cars now!), or the 6 to Bowling Green.
