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

The terminal architecture is very photogenic.

Staten Island September 11 Memorial

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

The memorial faces ground zero.

The memorial is situated in a park next to the Staten Island terminal and baseball field lighting is visible in the background.

Each silhouette bears the person’s info and can hold memorial flowers.
