How I will miss New York City after this beautiful spring visit. Will close with more parting shots of flowers, and the skyline from the Staten Island Ferry. The Staten Island Ferry is the something no tourist should ever miss. Besides being free, it gives one the best views of Manhattan, the Statute of Liberty, and is a true New York experience. Regardless of what the crazed republicans say New York City is safe, friendly, and a jewel to behold. That said let’s take in some of those flowers…

And a final shot of Manhattan from the Staten Island Ferry at night..

La Boheme and the Staten Island Ferry

What a beautiful place Lincoln Center is. If ever visiting New York City take time to see the grounds and catch a New York City Ballet or Metropolitan Opera performance. La Boheme was absolutely spectacular and while the words were in Italian a translation bar appears on the seat before you. Pricing is reasonable, $30 for this view, and what a view.

After the show did one of my favorite things – a night ride on the Staten Island Ferry past the Statute of Liberty. Dress warm, and enjoy..

It’s the best attraction in town, and it’s free.
