Lonely Planet review

Staten Islanders know the fleet of hulking, dirty-orange ferry boats as commuter vehicles. Manhattanites like to think of the ferries as their secret little romantic, spring-day escape vessels. But the secret is long out, as many a tourist has been clued into the charms of the Staten Island Ferry - one of the most wonderful, free adventures in New York.

For a great DIY experience, take your bike aboard and head toward one of Staten Island's majestic parklands or sandy beaches.
