NYC Percent for ArtSeptember 26, 2012Michael Falco's amazing mural, "Where Marsh Meets the Sea," is made up of hundreds of images photographed in Staten Island. Find time to check it out next time you're passing through. Read more
Andre RochaJanuary 3, 2017Free boat ride with an excellent view of Manhattan, Liberty Statue and Ellis Island. Also: no lines at all and conveniently located in a subway station.

Foursquare InsidersSeptember 11, 2015"What could be more glam than riding back and forth—in your new outfits, with your new personas—on the Staten Island Ferry? Plus, gorgeous views of Manhattan and the bridges." - Simon Doonan, author Read moreUpvoted 2 weeks ago
ℳ𝒶𝓎♍January 27, 2019Catch a free ride to Staten Island. The ferry departs every 30mins and takes about 25mins. Great views of lower Manhattan and you can sail by the Statue of Liberty. Tons of seating indoor and outdoor
A5ma_August 2, 2019One of the best free touristic attractions in NY. Best time to take the ferry is when the sun is setting. The views are breathtaking.
Lluis AltimiresDecember 30, 2015Great way to see the Statue of Liberty and the Skyline of Manhattan.
Chirag PatelJanuary 8, 2019It’s a good ferry to travel if your visiting. There’s a nice wine shop outside of the ferry that I suggest to stop by.
Jennifer YoungelmanJanuary 2, 2015Ferry is free, runs every half hour, has food on the boat. Sit on the back deck in the warm sun for the best seat
Vassilis TskJune 15, 2016If you want to enjoy the view choose the left side open deck windows as you board. Great service and nice view to Statue of Liberty and big apple skyline.WiFi on board.
City of New YorkDecember 26, 2012The St. George Ferry Terminal offers 29,000 square feet of retail space, presenting an opportunity for retailers to serve area residents and the thousands of visitors that pass through the terminal.
Kareen YnclinoAugust 8, 2014Always has a good view of Manhattan. The city is just so tempting that you couldn't help but get on board the ferry especially that it's free and the short cruise is breathtaking lol! ;)
Staten Island MuseumDecember 29, 2011You can see the sign for the Staten Island Museum from the Ferry terminal. Take a walk over and see what we've got. Only $3 admission. Kids under 12 free. Open daily!
U.S. Environmental Protection AgencyJanuary 15, 2013Photo challenge! Check out this vintage Documerica photo taken in 1973. Then take a photo of the area today, submit it to our State of the Environment Photo Project, and help us document the change. Read more
if you're not from Staten Island (especially if you're a tourist) I would avoid going from Manhattan to Staten Island from between 4 PMish and 6:30PMish because a lot of people leaving work/going home
Make sure to stop by Staten Island Arts' Culture Lounge - check out their rotating exhibit space and purchase locally made goods from their artist market!
- Roel van der VenMay 1, 2015Be smart: on your way to Staten Island stay on the back of the boat and look at Manhattan from the water. When you return, do the same and enjoy a good view of the Statue of Liberty
July CarrasquelOctober 8, 2013Try to go upstairs to the left of the Ferry and work your way to the right n front to get the best view and pics of the statue.- City of New YorkDecember 26, 2012Did you know? The original Staten Island ferries were painted white, but were changed to orange for better visibility in the rain and fog.
- City of New YorkDecember 26, 2012In 2005, the upgraded St. George Ferry Terminal was unveiled. The renovation included a new steel and glass design and added an 18,000 square foot garden of local plants on the roof.
Elsa CretinDecember 31, 2012The view is amazing - Go for a free ride from Manhattan to Staten Island and enjoy the view of the Liberty Statue & Manhattan !
The River Dock Cafe at the west end of the terminal has a great beer selection and great views.
Hanna AvlasOctober 5, 2018Why would I pay for the Liberty tour when there is a ferry boat (Manhattan 🛳➡️ Staten Island) free of charge passing Lady Liberty close enough?? 😏
Be sure to check a 9/11 memorial next to the terminal building before leaving Staten Island. Get out of the waiting room and make right and go outside. You'll see the white memorial.
LarryJune 15, 2013For me, lower level provides for street access on NYC side to avoid the mash of the crowd heading for the escalators and stairs.
Stores open 24/7, safe and secure. If you bring something on wheels, expect the dogs to sniff it.
NYC DOTDecember 23, 2011Bus stops at the St. George Ferry Terminal have been relocated during construction. Use Bus Station North for S61, S91, S62, S92, S66, and S78. Use the Taxi Stand for S76, S86, S74, S84, S51, and S81.
Noble Maritime CollectionJanuary 11, 2012Robbins Reef Lighthouse is visible from the western side of the SI Ferry. It is maintained by The Noble Maritime Collection located at Snug Harbor Cultural Center. More info at www.noblemaritime.org
La Broi WaltonOctober 27, 2012For best views: Stay on the right side of the ferry coming to Staten Island and stay on the left when leaving
If you are lost or want to explore what the Island has to offer, visit the information booth and grab some pamphlets and ask the smiling people in the booth for help :)
Maria MattosJuly 17, 2016Me and my mom went on a Ferry boat to New York yesterday and I took some pictures of mom and my aunt in New York.
Love the new terminal, cool, clean and elegant. The fish are a great touch. Love the new vendors too. My issue: why does the Post office close at 1PM? Stupid!
Good restaurant selection. Restrooms relatively clean -- particularly for New York.
Another Wonderful! Place you get to know all to well if living in Staten Island and working in the city. Strange people always coming and going through here which mixes up the commute.
Ferry beers help relieve the stress of the cruddy bus service that makes you miss the boat you originally wanted to catch.
Michael HoldsworthSeptember 14, 2016Can't beat a free ferry ride and a cracking view of the Statue of Liberty
Lorena BelloSeptember 7, 2013For a free ride you can see the best view of the Liberty Statue and Downtown Manhattan.
Christoff FrazierMarch 1, 2014For the guy who bitched about the bridge toll paying for the ferry. The rest of NYC would happy to remove the bridge and shut down the ferry leaving you the only option of New Jersey.
Jos MatthewOctober 23, 2011Walk out the terminal and turn right. Go to Ruddy & Dean restaurant for awesome buffalo wings and prime rib sandwiches.
FrankieApril 26, 2010best place to avoid having forceful, awkward conversation with people you don't want to see is the bike section..even if you don't have a bike..- Best eateries: Freshens, Au Bon Pain, and the place where pretzels are only $1. Yum.
Reliable mode of transportation and great views of the harbor.
Noelle QuanciApril 15, 2013One of the best views of the Statue of Liberty and of downtown NYC... (It's a free transfer from the subway)- LarryJune 15, 2013They sell beer here at a rather fine price. Also other less than healthy food stuffs. Better off eating on either terminal for more choices.
