My family and i are going to new york for new years. We also wanted to go to the statue of liberty. I know that the statue is on Liberty Island, but isn't Liberty Island in New York City? I would appriciate it if you could answer this question. Also, if possibly, is there any way you guys can send me links for hotels in NYC? thanks so much! Happy New Years!

It's technically in New York City surrounded by waters belonging to New Jersey (we were still English colonies when the lines were drawn and kings didn't divide things easily). However, the lines in Battery Park in Lower Manhattan where you get on the boat are extremely long, especially around the holidays.
You can also get on the boat to Liberty Island at Liberty State Park in Jersey City across from the Science Center. The lines there are much shorter. You'll find it is much cheaper to stay in Jersey City, and take the PATH train or the ferry to Manhattan than actually staying in the city.

The Statue of Liberty is 1 and 5/8 miles from Battery Park on Manhattan Island. You take a short ferry ride to the island if you want to visit the statue.
NYC has some great hotels. Tripadvisor is great because you can read reviews on each hotel.

Statue of Liberty National Monument
Public Transportation
The Statue of Liberty on Liberty Island and the Ellis Island Immigration Museum on Ellis Island are located in Lower New York Harbor, slightly over one mile from Lower Manhattan. Liberty and Ellis Islands are accessible by ferry service only. Ferries are operated by Circle Line-Statue of Liberty Ferry, Inc. from New York and New Jersey. One round trip ferry ticket includes visits to both islands. The docking of private vessels is strictly prohibited.
Ferry Service from New York: Purchase round-trip ferry tickets at Castle Clinton National Monument in Lower Manhattan. Ferries from New York operate on a loop, stopping first at Liberty Island and then at Ellis Island before returning to Battery Park, New York.
Battery Park by subway: take the 1 train to the South Ferry station, 4 or 5 train to the Bowling Green station or R/W train to the Whitehall Street station. Check the NYC Transit Authority for latest service changes. For complete subway information call the New York City Transit Authority at: 718 330-1234.
Battery Park, NY by bus: take the M15 (East Side) marked "South Ferry" or the M6 (West Side) from 57th Street.

The Statue is on Liberty Island which is seperate from island of Manhattan. You can easily take a ferry boat to Libterty Island (the only way to get there) via Battery Park, which is on the southern tip of Manhattan.
Here is all the info you will need:

Not a answer but when you check out hotels you might be able to find one that over looks the Statue of Liberty and the harbour.
