Did you know the Staten Island Ferry is a free boat ride that gives one of the most memorable views, by water, of the New York City skyline? Because the ferry commutes back and forth between Manhattan and Staten Island, round the clock, it’s one of the most popular Harbor Cruises by tourists and residents alike. Check out the majestic Statue of Liberty, skyscrapers of Lower Manhattan, and Ellis Island. Be prepared to stand for the view. After all, remember, it’s free. It’s also unforgettable.

I love that it’s free 🙂 There are lot of activities that you can do for free in New York that one can find out about by just doing a little bit of research 🙂 Were you in the city recently, Gail?

Thank you for the New York City photos, it has been awhile since I have been there. 🍍Sending you a pineapple which in Colonial America meant “welcome” and hospitality. 😊

I remember pineapples as a symbol of welcome in the Colonial Williamsburg area. 🍍
