During the week on any particular summer day, nearly 20,000 people go and take the Statue of Liberty ferry to the Statue of Liberty. Now for several Thursday nights this summer, Statues Cruises offers, for $35, a night cruise of Liberty Island including dinner, and a detailed tour and history of the island and statue. Such a deal. The night I went, it wasn't a press cruise. For $35 you got either lobster or steak, both with potatoes and corn. So it's a great deal. It's a beautiful view of the city. It's very cooling. So go to statuecruises.com and for $35 have a great time. Five stars.
