    "A must-visit place with stunning views of New York from the island itself, and the boat ride offers excellent sights. It's probably best to travel there from New Jersey to avoid long queues on the island, especially for the return trip. A pleasant time to stroll around, with a museum, a great souvenir shop, and the option to enjoy tasty food at reasonable prices."
