"Whitehall Terminal (4 South St. and Whitehall St., New York City) is the terminal in the South Ferry area of Lower Manhattan used by the Staten Island Ferry, which connects the two island boroughs of Manhattan and Staten Island. It was completely renovated and rededicated in February 2005 as a major integrated transportation hub for the ferry, buses, subways, taxis, and bicycle lanes.
The ferry travels between the Whitehall Terminal in Manhattan and the St. George Terminal in Staten Island...
The renovated terminal was designed by New York architect Frederic Schwartz. In Lower Manhattan, it included a new 2-acre (8,100 m2) plaza, named after Peter Minuit.[1] The terminal, which is open 24 hours a day, accommodates over 100,000 tourists and commuters daily. It includes access to taxis, four subway lines, and three bus lines; through the Terminal and Minuit Plaza, access to bicycle lanes and other water transport are also available.
Described as "an elegant addition to [the] city's architecture," a Newsday writer called it a transit hub that is so beautiful that it has become a destination in its own right: with "the panorama of lower Manhattan from the top of the escalators, the vast windows framing the Statue of Liberty, the upstairs deck with views of the harbor -- these are reasons to take shelter here for a little longer than the ferry schedule makes strictly necessary.'"
