Staten Island
Ferry
The bargain that still can't be beaten, even more so now that the fare has
beven eliminated, is the free
Staten Island
ferry (tel 718/390-5253), which leaes from its own terminal in lower
Manhattan's Battery Park. It's a commuter boat, so aoid crowded rush hours
if you can; at other times, grab a spot at the back (going out) and watch
the skyline shrink away. Departures are every 15-20 minutes at rush hours,
every thirty minutes midday and evenings, and every hour late at night -
weekend serices are less frequent.
