Staten Island,’The Forgotten Borough’ August 27, 2013

Staten Island. New York City’s most suburban borough….often referred as ‘The forgotten Borough’.  Staten Island is much more enriched than some people know. There are a quite a few places to explore.

Like Historic Richmond Town. It’s one of Staten Island’s most popular attractions. Historic Richmond Town is a living history village and museum. Those who visit will have fairs, farm animals, exhibits and many activities and events waiting for them. Only a boat and 1 bus ride away! Of course you need your tickets to get in.

And what about Snug Harbor? Staten Island’s most unique Cultural Center and Botanical garden. Originally built as a home for retired sailors; it is now a national historic landmark. Made up of a collection of significant 19th century buildings. Experience what it feels to walk through a Chinese garden in the 1900’s. Get lost in a play. Or visit one of it’s museums.

Staten Island is more inviting than most people think…
