http://www.yctv.tv/new-york/ - These two sights represent freedom for millions of people, and the Statue of Liberty, a 450,000-pound gift from the people of France, is a must-see for anyone visiting the Big Apple. Access to Ellis is via a Circle Lines ferry, and a (free) timed pass is required. Ranger-led tours detail the history and technical aspects of the statue. Inside the base of Lady Liberty you'll find a number of exhibits and concessions, and from the observation deck the city and harbor views are unbeatable.
