‘Ultimate Hipster’ Lives On Staten Island Ferry

You can’t get much more hobo chic / nauticalternative than this.

Here’s to you, Citizen of the World, wearing flannel and drinking PBR, curled up in a corner of that bright orange ferry boat, peering up at the stars until they’re blocked by the Verrazano, realizing that you are the ultimate New York urban dweller, begging for cigarettes every time a new passenger boards the boat, coasting back and forth past your beatnik soul’s homeland, Brooklyn, as you make your way from your mother that will never love you (Manhattan) over to the sub-urban oasis that is Staten Island, day by day, night by night… the cars and construction on the BQE are your siren song, the Battery is your Bois de Boulogne, the Gowanus on one side, Bayonne, New Jersey on the other, you are home, this is your home, this is your life.
