Our students visited campus this weekend for class and enjoyed downtown Manhattan’s accessible offering: the Staten Island Ferry. Unlike the subway or bus, the Staten Island Ferry is free to ride. Getting to the ferry from NYEA is easy, as the Whitehall Station is about a 10 minute walk away from campus. The Staten Island Ferry has been operating since the 1800s and offers spectacular views of the New York City skyline, the Statue of Liberty, and the harbor. On this trip, students saw Battery Park as well as Ellis Island. The trip takes about 25 minutes and ferries run every 15 to 30 minutes, 24 hours a day. Lots of NYEA students and faculty live on Staten Island for an easy commute. Like in Manhattan, Staten Island is also enjoying the blooming flowers of spring and there’s lots to see around St. George station and neighborhood. Our students posed together under a Japanese Cherry Tree while exploring the waterfront. Along with a free ferry, Staten Island also has its own train line making it easy for NYEA students to take more trips in the future.
