Things to Do In Staten Island

Before we go into Things to Do in Staten Island, let us tell you a little more about the place. Staten Island is both the name of an island tucked off the western coast of the Narrows at the entrance of New York Harbor as well as the name of the one of the five boroughs of New York City. The Staten Island shares the same border with Richmond County, the southernmost county of the State of New York.

As an island, the Narrows separate it from Long Island and the Arthur Kill and the Kill Van Kull demarcate it from the mainland New Jersey. The Bayonne Bridge, the Outerbridge Crossing and the Goethals Bridge connect the island to New Jersey, whereas the Verrazano Narrows Bridge connects it to Brooklyn.


The Staten Island Ferry is the best way to reach lower Manhattan. The intra island regions are well connected by an extensive network of rail routes that traverse the island from its northeastern tip to its southwestern tip.

One of the most visited islands in the U.S., Staten Island's claim to fame is its rich cultural heritage, diverse entertainment programs, excellent dining options, multiple shopping avenues, treasured artworks of local as well as international artists and recreational activities of varied description that keeps the tourists busy through their stay in the Staten Island.
