Departing from Pier 83 at W 42nd Street and Twelfth Avenue, it circumnavigates Manhattan, taking in everything from the tall buildings of downtown Manhattan to the subdued stretches of Harlem and the Bronx - complete with a live wisecracking commentary; the three-hour tour is $24 ($12 for children under twelve). Another interesting option is the Harlem Spirituals Gospel Cruise, two-hour tours for $25 that depart from Pier 16 at South Street Seaport.   One of the city's true bargains is the free Staten Island ferry , which leaves from South Ferry on the lower tip of Manhattan and offers great views of New York Harbor and the Statue of Liberty.
