After 4 years of living in New York, I have finally visited all five boroughs, thanks to the Staten Island Ferry.
It’s free and it leaves every 30 minutes. From outside you get a perfect view of Manhattan, complete with seagulls drifting behind the ferry, like kites.
I hopped on one boring afternoon and rode it across and back, didn’t even leave the station on the other side. It took about an hour. I probably wouldn’t do it again, but I’m glad I did it once, everyone should..
