Rode it all the time back when it carried cars on the lower deck. Today the ride is FREE! No more cars since 9/11. Thanks for the great shot Lenny...this is now my new desktop background!  |

I was on that ferry many years ago. We had a wedding to go to and at that time your car was with you on the ferry.

That is a nice shot of the ferry (and I believe that must be the Verrazano Br). I think the last time I rode the SI ferry, I was in HS, 40+ years ago. Cheapest "thrill" ride in NY at the time.  |

 Lenny, another great picture! How could I ever forget the Staten Island Ferry!!! When I was a youngster, that was an outing on a Sunday afternoon for our family. Great price. We would go to the automat and then take a ride on the Ferry. Loved going to the automat also. Always had their macaroni and cheese, baked beans, hot chocolate and topped it off with a piece of lemon meringue pie - yummy!!! Also, after my prom at St. Helena's, we all went down there for the ritual of riding the Ferry after a prom. Great times I had on that Ferry!
