But I remembered that Liberty Island and Ellis Island are politically part of the borough of Manhattan and the County of New York, even though they are on the far side of Staten Island from Manhattan Island itself. No they aren't; they're off the southern tip of Manhattan.

While I don't remember all the details, when President Reagan signed some proclamation about the Statue of Liberty, he did so in the presence of four senators, two from NY and two from NJ, so as not to offend either state. Are there telephones on these two islands, and if so what are the area codes? -- --> David Esan rochester!moscom!de
