Went to Staten Island today. The free ferry is convenient from downtown.

Staten Island Ferry Terminal
They’ve gotten very efficient with loading/unloading the ferry (I think, but I don’t have to take this as part of my commute).

St George Terminal Architecture

Staten Island September 11 Memorial
The Staten Island memorial is very tastefully done. It contains granite plaques with a silhouette to honor each victim.
