Let me call my lawyer tomorrow and we will pull up all of the research
on this matter so I can prove my point beyond a shadow of a doubt so
that you believe me and so that your mind may be set at ease.. in
fact, let me also start an out-of-pocket investigation into the whole
matter verifiying the validity of every argument. :)

Living on long island, and pretty much visit nyc least once a week because
of work, my biggest hint is learning how to drive there correctly!  That is
drive your worst without crashing.  Saying that, statue of liberty is nice
to see and getting on the first morning run is definitely worth it as if you
wait, you can end up waiting 30minutes in line.  The only down point is i
think they finally closed down visitors access to the top of the miss.
liberties hand with the flame.
