Welcome to the Staten Island Ferry, something that everyone will enjoy, even if you’re not commuting with it.  Hop on the ferry located in downtown Manhattan, for free!  Yes, this ferry ride is free.  It goes back and forth from St. George on Staten Island to Whitehall Street in Manhattan.  It services 20 million people a year, as commuters need a way to travel between the islands.  There is even a snack bar on the ship where you can enjoy food to munch on and drinks.  You get to pass by Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty aboard the ship, plus you get a great view of the city and it’s buildings.  They run frequently, so you won’t be waiting for too long.  Hopefully you’ll get on one of the new 3 ferries. So get on this shockingly orange ferry and make your way to Staten Island.  You don’t have to stay when you get there, most of us just run right around the corner to catch the next ferry coming back to the city.
