We’re visiting my sister in the city.

Freedom Tower’s appearance transformed significantly when the rain stopped and the sun came out on the return trip to Manhattan.

Staten Island Ferry Ride – New York City

The Staten Island Ferry

Fact: 365 days a year, 24 hours a day

Fact: a 5 mile trip, about 25 minutes one way

Fact: 21 million people a year ride the Staten Island Ferry

Fact: There are nine ferries in the fleet

Fact: The three new ferries were made in Wisconsin at Marinette Marine

Fact: If you saw the movie Working Girl in 1988 the ferry is in the opening credits (see link below)

How much does it cost to ride? It’s free. And a lot of fun. We used to go when the kids were younger. It was one activity I really wanted to do again this visit to NYC.

Mary and I went boarded and rode over to Staten Island. We stood outside on the upper deck. After a smooth voyage and wonderful view, we got off as everyone has to get off the ferry.

We walked down the ramp and followed a path and then got right back onto the very same ferry to return to Manhattan.
