Visiting Staten Island
Staten Island is often the forgotten borough of New York City. While bigger in land mass than the other boroughs, its somewhat suburban feel makes it a world apart from the hustle and bustle of midtown Manhattan. In movies and on TV, it's often the butt of jokes (see "Working Girl" and episodes of "Sex in the City"). And many visitors don't even bother to get off the Staten Island ferry to explore - they simply head back to Manhattan. But we think that Staten Island is worth a closer look. Here are three reasons why:
The Noble Maritime Center - celebrates the people and traditions of the working waterfront of New York Harbor.
Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Gardens - a Smithsonian affiliate that includes a unique blend of gardens, museums, theaters, educational opportunities, and seasonal festivals set within a stunning 83-acre park-like setting.
Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art - aims to preserve Tibetan culture by encouraging interest and study in the art, history and cultural artifacts of Tibet.
