"As a NYC tour guide, my tip: unless visiting this statue is your absolute must-do, don't bother. Long boat waits, etc. mean this eats up half a day. Ride Staten Island Ferry, snap a pic, and move on."

"Easiest way to get there is the Astoria stop on the NYC Ferry."

"Disagree with the other review. I've found the employees here to be extremely friendly and thorough. Always coming back."

"Guys handing out CDs. The fake "monks". Basically, anyone trying to put something in your hand... avoid like the plague. Keep your hands at your side when you see them, and keep moving. It's a scam."

"The tip by the History Channel falsely indicates the Chrysler Building took tallest building away from this. In fact, it was actually 40 Wall Street which in turn was de-throned by the Chrysler."

"They give out same-day tickets at 6:30am (sharp!) on the website."
