"Bus down to Battery Park City, take a Brown Bag Lunch, the FREE Ferry to Staten Island at, or right before sunset, don't get off, come back to Manhattan and see the greatest site!"
You are not allowed to stay on the Staten Island Ferry when it gets to SI, so you'll have to get off and then take the next one back to Manhattan. While you are waiting you can go outside and take a walk along the esplanade which gives you great views of Manhattan. BTW, I would not do it after dark. It's a safe area during the day though.
