Absolutely beautiful,the best time to do this is dusk so when you are returning back to Manhattan it's dark.Breath taking way to see New York
The view!!.Unfortunately the Twin Towers are not there any more but the New York skyline is amazing.Also its free,the subway brings you straight to the ferry pier from any direction.All together it will take about an hour out of your day.Well worth it.

After visiting Coney Island, we hopped back on the train and got off at the Whitehall St. stop because that's where the ferry terminal is. Once inside the terminal we determined that the ferry ride was free and waited to board the boat with alot of people who were just getting off work. Once we boarded we walked to the front and stood outside for the whole ride. We passed by The Statue of Liberty and some lady started singing "Amazing Grace" really loud and out of tune. Then she decides she wants to know everything about me after she compliments a ring I'm wearing. She asked me questions the whole ride to Staten Island, which is about 25 minutes. When we finally got to the island, we got off the boat & then boarded it again right away. The ride back to Manhattan was into the wind, so it was really cold standing outside on the deck. I whimped out and went inside. Fortunately, there wasn't any crazy ladies on the return trip. Manhattan looked really small and strange without The World Trade Center buildings. Leave a Comment

Bought out ticket. Determined to do it to say we had. Ended up walking for a mile or so. That was the queue and still never reached the end. Decided at that point to stand from afar and take a photo of the statue (very in the distance) but had more worthwhile things to spend our time on as it was our last day. Went to Ground Zero site by accident as we walked away from the ferry terminal. Not morbid as I thought but amazing to see how quickly the whole area has been developed. Paused for thought though at how it must have been on that day..
