Food scene
If you show up and get in line before 11:30, right before they open for lunch, they usually reserve 20 spots for their daily $10 lunch special that's equivalent to a $20+ meal. Regardless, their dishes are quite authentic, as evidenced by the many Japanese patrons.

NYC Ferry Rides
You can ride for free on Staten Island Ferry for a great view of the Statue of Liberty! Also, for only $2.75 (one-way) with your MTA card, you can hop on the NYC Ferry and ride around to enjoy the views of Manhattan skyline along the East River. www.ferry.nyc for more info. The closest ferry station is at 90th ST (10-minute walk), and you can get there by walking east to the East River and walk up north on John Finley walk path, passing by Carl Shurz Park and Gracie Mansion (mayor's home) on the left along the way. Happy ferrying!
