One of the best deals in New York is the Staten Island ferry. It runs from Battery Park in downtown Manhattan to St. George on Staten Island. It has wonderful views of downtown Manhattan, downtown Brooklyn, Jersey City, the Statue of Liberty, and all parts of the Upper Bay. The best part is that it is completely free. If you go, don’t just get off the ferry and get on the next one back to Manhattan. Exit the terminal building and go onto the attached deck. It has spectacular views across the Upper Bay.
