I finally visited the Staten Island Ferry last Thursday. And I am here to report that is has become THE place for tourists. There seemed to be more tourists than people commuting. Still haven't figured out what category I fit into, since I live in NYC, but I was there to take pictures of the Statue of Liberty. The ferry to and from SI is free, no reservations are needed...
It was COLD. Try not to go if it is too cold. My luck...it was 25 that day, and 45 the next. So always check the weather forecast. I got some great shots, but I was bundled up in my hat scarf and gloves. My face must have looked so red. Anyway, on to the pictures. I took so many, and they will be at the
Unseen NYC Facebook page sometime today...

ReplyDeleteAwesome pictures! I am soooo jealous! My dream is to live in NYC, but I don't think it's ever gonna happen. :( Last time we visited we had it in our plans to go to the Staten Island Ferry, but we never made it. Too little time. :(
