From Staten Island to Manhattan (New York)

After visiting New York on so many occasions in the last decade I realized that I never had a chance to ride Staten Island Ferry. I have taken different types of courses and rides around Manhattan but never from Staten Island.

Last spring, before going to New York, I decided to compensate for my earlier shortcomings. I booked my hotel not far from Staten Island and every day, during my stay, I took the ferry instead of driving to Manhattan.

Beautiful and free 25 min ride is much more pleasant than driving in tunnel traffic and then searching for parking in Manhattan.

In total, I took 14 rides. I definitely overcompensated.
