And it costs a fortune to get a cab from there. Everyone keeps saying LaGuardia, and that's okay, but seriously Newark, NJ is the best one, for sure. First of all, you can see the statue of liberty from Liberty State Park, which is in NJ, right around Newark Airport! But, if you want to come into the city, then you can totally take a cab (so quick and easy) from Newark right through the Holland tunnel to lower Manhattan where the ferries to the Statue of Liberty are.
