It was so nice to see the Statue of Liberty again!

[@keithfalkingham8861]

Excellent video, great views on a beautiful day.

[@HengMiao]

Woohoo for another Staten Island Ferry ride! It was nice to see the beautiful Manhattan skyline and the Statue of Liberty on a sunny day. 😍 🗽Thank you for sharing this relaxing scenic ferry ride, AK! 🤗⛴

[@ActionKid]

You’re welcome! It was fun to ride the Staten Island ferry again

[@CityWalks]

Great video. Having been to NYC only a couple times and briefly, I forget how big a role the water plays in its landscape. Hoping to get out that way this summer for a longer visit. Thanks! -H

[@ActionKid]

Awesome! I hope you make it out here too

[@steveacevedo820]

The best thing about the Staten Island Ferry is that it is free! One of the best bargains for any tourist visiting NYC as you get a free ride across the NY harbor with great views of the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline which is particularly beautiful at night.

[@kennethlong4103]

As a longtime resident of Manhattan several years ago, my #1 recommendation to tourists is a ride on the Staten Island Ferry. The views are simply incredible.

Thank you, Action kid, very impressive video.

[@victoriap3832]

In 1987 l spent 2 weeks in Staten Island,one night we took the Ferry, it was windy and. cold but l still remembered the thrill of seeing the Statue of Liberty and the lights from Manhattan. What fond memories!!!. Thanks AK.!!

[@ActionKid]

You’re welcome, it was so nice to ride the Staten Island Ferry again!

[@philipmaxwell669]

We loved the Staten Island Ferry when we were in NY in 2020. We loved it 5 or 6 times , lol

[@ActionKid]

That’s great

[@joburgess1060]

Hi AK so glad to see you back in NYC.

[@christinenapoli5106]

Both Jersey City & Hoboken have made a complete turnaround & are great places now. Back in the day, you would think twice about walking around there. Bayonne was my original stomping grounds…that’s how I remember.

[@ActionKid]

They’ve really become great places to visit and live

[@stevegiblin270]

I used to work for MILITARY SEALIFT COMMAND out of BAYONNE NJ- AWESOME 😎

[@buffycat4641]

Lived in Staten Island in the early 60s, my Aunt lived there from the 1940s to the 1980s. It was always fun to ride the ferry boat to and from work down in the Wall Street area. I am sure they have better radar in 2023 but back in the 60s if you ran into heavy fog at night the boat came to a slow crawl or stop, sounding their horn repeatedly with the crew outside looking for a possible approaching boat.

[@nickpatterson492]

Thanks AK for another visit to staten island I'm born and raised there to the age of 12 now living in Pennsylvania I would luv to visit and ride the ferry ⛴️ myself when given the chance it's been years

[@ActionKid]

My pleasure!

[@jackiesanford5549]

Hi from Bloomington Illinois first subscriber 👋🏾

[@diablodan1459]

Thanks Action Kid for recording this experience. I was curious if this boat does a back and forth from Manhattan so that answers that for me!

[@christinenapoli5106]

Great walk seeing all the newness. My dad used to ride the lightrail from time to time. Views of NYC are amazing too.

[@ActionKid]

Thanks for watching! The Light Rail is very convenient!

[@City-Hiker]

I went to the Outlet Mall twice by the Staten Island Ferry. It is good experience to see the harbor view, but shopping experience is so so .

[@synaptik111]

Thanks for taking me for a ride with you! That was amazing

[@ActionKid]

Much appreciated!

[@trudeebacon1083]

This was wonderful! Do you plan a trip to the Statue of Liberty soon?

[@ActionKid]

Thank you so much! I’m not planning to visit the Statue of Liberty anytime soon.

[@amandad6104]

Cool boat ride 😎🗽🙌

[@sswan9689]

Oh, still in NYC. I was hoping to catch you in the streets of Miami. I was there last week. Maybe next time I'm in Miami I will see you out & about 😊

[@City-Hiker]

I went to that Staten Island Outlet Mall twice. The Kings Plaza and Atlantic Terminal mall are busier.

[@EphemeralProductions]

That duckie at 5:49 seemed very unbothered by the boat. lol. Was more focused on whatever fish he was divin for! 😊

[@EphemeralProductions]

Great! Love it! That is a LOT of people tho! lol

[@bradbest4418]

28:47 I did not realize the NYC Harbour ferries also served Staten Island too.....unless it was a charter cruise.....you should take the small boat over to Staten some time if they have a regular service......I guess the big ferries are a novelty tho.....

[@JJJBRICE]

The Staten Island Ferry was featured in an episode of I Love Lucy . It was one of the few scenes done with only Lucille Ball and William Frawley and no other cast members .

[@ActionKid]

Really cool

[@stevegiblin270]

Can you still buy food 🥘 and beer 🍺 on the ferry? Was on it 30 yrs ago and it was fun! Steven from Boston Ma! 🇺🇸😎⚓️🍀

[@bradyeverett9225]

No way I was back in NY in early April, rode the ferry out to SI a couple times. Can confirm this is what it looks like!

[@eth39232]

A tour of Staten Island would be interesting. My understanding is that it's the least urbanized of the boroughs. I've read proposals for subway connections never happened because of cost.

[@ActionKid]

I’ve done several videos and live streams on Staten Island before. It’s really a large borough with much to see!

[@doh-nc8ku]

It’s the greenest borough and a nice change of scenery from rest of the city, from what I’ve read.

[@CynthiaAva]

Get a burger at Shake Shack right there at the outlet mall when you arrive in SI or take the bus down Bay Street to Lakruwana Sri Lankan restaurant!

[@twinsonic]

Did do the same in January 1995. But no people and 25 cents return fare

[@sharifchi]

Staten Island Ferry is perfect to see the Statue of Liberty if you don't want to go the base and crown

[@timmywarren3996]

What is the tall building with the round facade at 6:10 in the video named? Thanks for another awesome show.

[@timmywarren3996]

Andrew J. Barberi, on its last days before being retired 6 months later after this video was made. RIP

[@sherronpaasch351]

I have only seen the Statue of Liberty from the air

[@fredashay]

I wonder how many cameras and phones are under that water?

Where is AC?

[@sallyhuang-zx8eo]

Why you are not talking in this video?

[@SanMan2k5]

It's too bad you got stuck with one of the older boats without the outdoor deck.

[@buffycat4641]

Many years ago they all had the outside decks that went the length of the boat. Was wonderful in the spring, summer and fall to sit out there.

[@gailbirchall2163]

The ferry is a big bugger, isn't it.

[@chiefjoes.wiggumindonutswe5662]

wOW AK, those were some powerful shots you took of the skyline of NY and NJ, man. FUGGABOUTIT😲🤌

[@haivuong4283]

Anyone saw the one World Trade Center?

[@urbanhedgehog]

wonder what % are tourists ?? 80% ??

[@fredashay]

Well, during rush hours it is mostly people commuting to the city to work and home again. Other times during the day? Who knows?

[@MrPaulhaskins]

The Staten Island ferry is awful. A wave of tourists push and shove in order to get a window seat instead of paying for a proper sightseeing tour. The Staten Island ferry is free to ride, so there are plenty of mentally ill homeless people walking back and forth asking for money. Outside the ferry terminal on the Manhattan side, there are plenty of drug addicts and aggressive tour guide ticket sellers as pushy as used car salesmen. Now, when you reach the Staten Island side, the ferry terminal is inundated with homeless people loitering everywhere.

I hope you now realize moving to Miami was a big mistake. Where are you going to get your content? Come back home.

[@HengMiao]

It is your wishful thinking that he made a mistake moving, but AK is proving you incorrect as he is enjoying his travels to other cities. Are you saying he can't find content to create from other places in the WORLD besides NYC? 🙄

[@stevegiblin270]

AC can still travel all over the place and still be home base in MIAMI! Plus he won’t have to deal with the winter weather everyday Steven from Boston MA!😎🇺🇸⚓️🍀☃️
