Summary

[edit]
Description

The orange Staten Island Ferry boats are making their run to and from Staten Island in the distance.

My vantage point is Battery Park, at the southern tip of Manhattan.

Staten Island Ferry is a very cheap way to enjoy the sights of the New York Harbor; in fact, it has been free since the 1990s. Additionally, Staten Island, while still a borough of New York City, is a whole different world altogether, and traveling from the landing at St. George to other parts of the island, via the Staten Island Railroad or the buses, can be quite a nice urban getaway from the bustle and hustle of Manhattan.

For just a subway fare, one can travel from Wakefield in northern Bronx all the way to Tottenville at the far end of Staten Island, a distance of nearly 40 miles. (Using a MetroCard allows a free transfer from the subway to Staten Island Railroad, after the free ferry ride.) Time limitations won't let me see Staten Island this time, but I did take a journey all the way out to Tottenville in late 1997, and loved it.
