New York - Staten Island

 
Staten Island is an overlooked borough--overlooked by other New Yorkers in fact. However, the island is filled with lakes, greenery and open spaces, not to mention stunning views of the harbor. Staten Island covers an area of 59 square miles. It is only a 25 minute ferry ride, considered by many to offer the best low cost cruise highlighting the sights of Manhattan.

The island is home to nearly 500,000 people of mixed racial backgrounds. Some attractions that are well worth visiting include Little Sri Lanka, an ethnic neighborhood is well known for its culture and interesting dining options. Another attraction worth checking out is Historic Richmond Town, replete with well restored and lovingly preserved colonial buildings.
