Staten Island. New York

Most visitors to Staten Island exit the ferry – which docks on the island’s northeastern tip – and reboard right away. Indeed, if not for its ferry – or Robert Redford and Jane Fonda’s wild night in Barefoot in the Park – this ‘forgotten borough’ might be completely unknown. Despite its reputation for suburbanism, Staten Island is not without its attractions, and a day out here shows you a new take on NYC life.
