This was my fourth visit, and it was fabulous. Nick, the manager at One Dine, was most helpful with our dinner reservation after our museum and observatory experience.

The Statue of Liberty is beautiful, as is the history surrounding the island and the story of the French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, who designed the statue in collaboration with the engineer Alexandre Gustave and the architect Richard Morris. Beautiful!
