Staten Island. What can I say? The idea basically came from the movie, How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days when Matthew McConaughey takes Kate Hudson to meet his family. He teaches her how to ride a motorcycle on the boardwalk there. For some reason, that stuck with me and inspired our trip. So a few days ago, my roommates and I made the journey over there. It started with a 40-minutes subway ride down to the ferry, then the boat ride over and we finally got to the boardwalk on South Beach after a 45-minute bus ride. We then spent half an hour on the beach and made the trip all the way back to Astoria.
The great part was that the (FREE!) ferry to Staten Island took us right past the Statue of Liberty. The boardwalk was really pretty as well and it was my first time in the Atlantic Ocean (well, besides Florida). The trip was worth it just to see the Statue and I would consider running on the boardwalk at sunrise at some point, just for the experience.
