    Great video. Having been to NYC only a couple times and briefly, I forget how big a role the water plays in its landscape. Hoping to get out that way this summer for a longer visit. Thanks! -H

    The best thing about the Staten Island Ferry is that it is free! One of the best bargains for any tourist visiting NYC as you get a free ride across the NY harbor with great views of the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline which is particularly beautiful at night.

    As a longtime resident of Manhattan several years ago, my #1 recommendation to tourists is a ride on the Staten Island Ferry. The views are simply incredible.

    Lived in Staten Island in the early 60s, my Aunt lived there from the 1940s to the 1980s. It was always fun to ride the ferry boat to and from work down in the Wall Street area. I am sure they have better radar in 2023 but back in the 60s if you ran into heavy fog at night the boat came to a slow crawl or stop, sounding their horn repeatedly with the crew outside looking for a possible approaching boat.

    28:47 I did not realize the NYC Harbour ferries also served Staten Island too.....unless it was a charter cruise.....you should take the small boat over to Staten some time if they have a regular service......I guess the big ferries are a novelty tho.....

    A tour of Staten Island would be interesting. My understanding is that it's the least urbanized of the boroughs. I've read proposals for subway connections never happened because of cost.

    • @ActionKid

    The Staten Island ferry is awful. A wave of tourists push and shove in order to get a window seat instead of paying for a proper sightseeing tour. The Staten Island ferry is free to ride, so there are plenty of mentally ill homeless people walking back and forth asking for money. Outside the ferry terminal on the Manhattan side, there are plenty of drug addicts and aggressive tour guide ticket sellers as pushy as used car salesmen. Now, when you reach the Staten Island side, the ferry terminal is inundated with homeless people loitering everywhere.
