If you're taking the Staten Island ferry to see the Staten Island Ferry...

DO NOT TALK TO THE PEOPLE IN THE VESTS.

THEY ARE SCAMMERS.

They bamboozled me today and I'm so mad at myself. They told me it would be shorter and a better view. They LIED. By the time I was off the boat, it had been 2.5 hours. I could've ridden the ferry twice in that time. They also charged me $50.

DO NOT FALL FOR THEIR BULLSHIT. Just walk straight into the terminal.

(PS- please don't rag on me in the comments. I can guarantee you I've told myself anything you would criticize me for. Thanks)

Edit: I messed up the title. it should say "...to see the Statue of Liberty". Please forgive me as I'm exhausted from traversing around the last few days!
