Fun to see it from the Staten Island Ferry though.


Actually, when you're not going to slowly, you can rush to get get the next ferry back and thus just stay on Staten Islandfor less than 3 minutes.

What I'd really have liked to do was - thanks to eBeth! - take the ferry to Governor's Island as well - the view of the statue is as nice, but Governor's Island is really great, especially if some event is going on.
(I'll unfortunately only pass NY in some thousand feet height in 8 weeks.)

@Walter Hinteler,
Yes...we looked at Staten Island for a few minutes, and took the same ferry back.


They've taken to colliding with the Manhattan piers a lot since then, though.

It's a little alarming.

@dlowan,
I'll have to trust you on that.

Not sure I'm comfortable with that.

I tend to be allergic to the scheduled tourist approach -- do this, then this, then squeeze this in before dinner there. I usually have a handful of must-sees to get to within the time I'm there, and then I do some loosely structured exploration. (As in, rather than "go to X museum," it'd be more like "spend some time in Y neighborhood.")

Yeah...walking and hanging out in NYC is great.

I hope the natives will assist in this process...
WALKING is an unnatural act; that 's what CABs r for.

@OmSigDAVID,
What a coincidence. I came back to this thread to drop a possibility of bunny getting onto the Cash Cab.

Ben Bailey Prowls NYC Streets In The 'Cash Cab'
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=128339318
July 6, 2010

When people on the streets of New York hail Ben Bailey's taxi, they're in for an extraordinary cab ride.

On his Discovery Channel show, Cash Cab, surprise contestants get the chance to win money for correctly answering trivia questions. If they get three questions wrong, though, they're out on the street.

Each round in the Cash Cab starts the same way. Bailey pulls up in the cab, a Toyota minivan decorated to look like a typical taxi. The passengers enter and have a routine exchange with the driver, Bailey, about where they're going. Then lights flash, music plays and Bailey announces, "You guys are in the Cash Cab!"

In the early days of the show, when no one knew about it, would-be contestants frequently declined the opportunity to play. "Now they know the show," Bailey tells NPR's Neal Conan, "so they pretty much stick around." If they opt not to play, producers help them find another, legitimate cab.

Bailey, a stand-up comedian by trade, also used to drive Lincoln Towncars around New York. So he knew the city pretty well already. But "downtown and the village," he allows, "can get pretty hairy."

For the podcast of the interview and the transcript of the interview:

@tsarstepan,
I'm assuming you'll want to walk and/or use the MTA to putt around the city, right Bunny?
