Staten Island Ferry New York City

Entry containing 1 photo titled: Hola

New York.. New York...OMG! This is honestly one big city .... and we were going to see it in two days ??? I must have been crazy!

So the decision was to buy a New York Pass to enable us to get into as many places as possible for free and also avoid the queues for tickets. The hop on hop off tour bus ride for the 2 days, was also great as …

So I figured that if I want to be a successful travel journalist, I should really start a blog. I used to write a lot when I was younger. My primary days were filled with non-fiction stories about vampires and candy, whereas my high school days portrayed more of a blog structure, things concerning life, emotions and well-being. I know I want to mix …

Woke to a very cold (not quite freezing) and grey day - and caught the F Train up to Rockafeller Center to meet Mrs. G who had booked us both onto the New York Photography Safari (I declined the earlier option of The Today Show). Arriving a little early, we embarked on some 5th Ave window shopping to kill time before it started. For the next three …

Der Anlass für meinen ersten New York City Besuch war eher von trauriger Natur:
Nach vier Wochen gemeinsam Reisen und Leben habe ich meine Mareike zum Flughafen gefahren - Für sie ging es weiter nach Ecuador und den Galapagos Inseln.

Wir sind schon um halb 3 frühs losgefahren, da ihr Flieger um 7 ging und ich mich jetzt auch nicht so …

Om 08.30 opgestaan en Lot gaf aan over een klein uur bij de trein te willen staan..dus snel een ontbijt gehaald en toen naar de trein. We zouden met haar meegaan naar de universiteit en haar kamer op de campus om te zien hoe zij de afgelopen 5 maanden heeft gewoond!

Vanaf het station van Hempstead rijdt elk uur speciaal een bus naar …

Morgan left this morning to play a show in Providence, RI. After resting a little while longer, gathering myself and getting some pizza I took a cab to Battery Park/Staten Island Ferry. From there I took the ferry to see the Statue of Liberty in all of her glory and all of the different city skylines; beautiful weather that would have felt like …

We caught the Mega Bus from Boston to New York City and whilst some people may have baulked at our choice, it was really good! We embarked on a double decker coach set-up and sat in a four seat configuration with a shared table. "Cool" kids on the bus weren't playing loud music through their mobile phones but sleeping gently on pillows they had …

We both had a very disturbed nights sleep due to our roomies. It began early in the morning, numerous alarms went off before being snoozed and going off again 5 minutes later and this went on for a while. I'm quite a laid back person but people disturbing my sleep makes me angry, and how selfish anyway in a shared room to hit snooze…it was …

I can't imagine a more stressful job than that of a NYC bus driver in peak Manhattan traffic -a truth we saw illustrated today with me adding to the poor man's many woes. It started innocently enough and, of course, I was justifiably upset. The four of us (Pat, me, my nephew Scott and niece Colleen) lined up at the Staten Island ferry drop-off …

... had now begun to roll in... It really is a city that doesn't sleep. Our final day and a trip on the free Staten Island ferry past the Statue of Liberty, unfortunately time was running out and we missed the last tourist ferry to take us directly to ...

... drinking out of them. A nice summer vibe. We enjoyed a nice pint of beer at a bar at the park. After watching the ferry take off to Staten Island we decided to hop on and take a ride. The ferry takes you past the statue of liberty and Ellis island, but ...

... nbsp; Is really hard to explain though just how odd you feel. We spend the day together out for brekkie then onto the Staten Island Ferry as its such a clear day, although pretty cold.  Then walk up to Chinatown where we are treated to a great ...

... ; It was my 4th time to NY and I had still never seen the Statue of Liberty, even from a distance.  So we took the Staten Island Ferry and saw that.  It's kinda cool.  I assume if I was poor, tired, or a member of some sort of huddled ...

... while visitors to New York can't beat the spectacular view of the skyline during the 25-minute ride on the Staten Island Ferry. 5. Free accommodation: A hotel can be the most expensive part of a vacation so try living in someone else's home while ...

... in Central Park & a street basketball game at a court just off 3rd Ave West, getting lost on the subway, taking the Staten Island Ferry for a close look at the Statue of Liberty, visiting Ground Zero - very sad and hard to believe the size of the ...

... - RIP lads. From there it was logical to head to the southern tip of Manhattan and jump the (amazingly) free Staten Island ferry. Since there's a tunnel complex between the two islands via Brooklyn these days nary a car or truck pays for the ...

... with acrobatic stunts and humorous banter. Our guidebook gave us two free tips, watching basketball at 'THE CAGE' and the Staten Island Ferry, which takes you right past the statue of liberty and gives great views of lower Manhattan. Jane drooled over ...

... the night away with some very cute gay boys. Despite a major hangover the next day I was up early again to catch the Staten Island ferry. It was the perfect day for it - clear blue skies and only a smattering of people around. Later in the day I took ...
