Sightseeing
One of my favorite thing to do on a nice sunny day - it's free and gets you super close to the statue of liberty minus hustle. If you want to stay in Staten Island for a meal, go to Maria Enoteca for the best grandma cooked food in town! PS. you can drink on the ferry either for cheap downstairs where they sell beer or BYOB, totally legal and awesome life hack.
