This
is
a
nice
place
to
walk
around
and
admire
the
view.
You
can
see
the
Staten
Island
Ferry
leaving
as
well
as
sailboats,
motorboats,
jet
skis,
etc.
You
WILL
get
a
glimpse
of
the
Statue
of
Liberty-
but
that's
really
all
it
is
-
a
glimpse.
All
you'll
see
from
here
is
the
side
of
the
Statue
of
Liberty
which
is
also
too
far
away
for
it
to
look
good
in
any
pictures.
But
if
you
want
to
visit
just
to
say
that
you
"saw"
the
Statue
of
Liberty,
this
is
a
good
option-
plus,
it's
free.
I
wish
I
had
brought
my
Canon
camera
here
so
I
could
have
gotten
some
better
pictures,
but
my
phone
was
pretty
decent
in
most
scenarios.
Just
wish
I
could
have
zoomed
in
a
bit
more
to
get
the
Statue
of
Liberty,
but
it
is
what
it
is.
The
main
reason
I'm
leaving
4
stars
instead
of
5
stars
is
due
to
all
the
people
coming
up
to
you
or
stopping
you
to
try
to
sell
you
something.
The
majority
of
people
selling
things
are
stationed
somewhere
and
stay
there,
but
there
were
a
few
people
went
out
of
their
ways
to
interrupt
my
walk
and
it
was
annoying
enough
to
make
me
want
to
mention
it
as
a
simple
"no"
does
not
dissuade
them
from
leaving
you
alone
either.
From
people
selling
tours
and
boat
tickets
to
a
dude
selling
his
mixtape,
it's
easy
to
be
targeted
when
you
look
like
you're
a
tourist
just
because
you're
taking
pictures.
To
anyone
who
says
these
people
are
just
doing
their
job,
I
would
say
that
they
should
do
their
jobs
without
harassing
people
and
not
taking
no
for
an
answer.
Why
continue
to
try
and
convince
me
to
take
a
tour
in
a
city
I
lived
in
for
22
years
AFTER
I
said
no?
Not
sure
if
any
of
this
was
racially
motivated
as
I'm
brown-skinned
so
I'm
not
going
to
make
assumptions,
but
I
don't
feel
like
other
people
were
being
stopped
as
much
as
I
was.
In
fact,
one
tour
guide
or
something
yelled
"NAMASTE"
at
me
when
I
walked
by
the
National
Museum
of
the
American
Indian
which
is
nearby.
At
the
very
least,
I
think
THAT
was
racially
motivated,
but
that
happened
elsewhere
so
I'm
not
letting
that
particular
instance
affect
my
review.
So
yeah,
not
a
horrible
viewpoint
of
the
Statue
of
Liberty,
but
don't
expect
a
good
photo
opportunity
either.
You
WILL
need
to
take
the
ferry
or
another
boat
to
get
a
better
view
that's
Instagram-worthy.
