AS a long life Staten Islander PLEASE leave us and our borough alone!
Yea we need more tourists in Staten Island we need more traffic on Hylan Blvd
Jim Lahey The Liquor omg!! I do agree with you! Staten Island sucks trying to go anywhere. One more year before I can move the hell out of NY! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@susanfeldstein1346 where are u moving to, please dont say Florida its horrible i have a house there lmao
Jim Lahey The Liquor we rlly don’t
Jim Lahey The Liquor lol!! No, definitely not Florida. Seems like everyone who moves from NY ends up there but I’m headed to Colorado. I’ve vacationed there many times over the years and it’s absolutely beautiful there! Plus, I have a sister who lives down near Clearwater, Florida. I visit her twice a year. That’s enough for me.
LMAOAO
We even have a Sri Lankan culture Museum, Tibetan Art Museum, and of course Historic Richmond. You also can't forget we're the home of Ralph's ices, if you've never had Ralph's then don't.. becsuse if you don't have one near you you'll long for it every warm summer night, seriously you won't have a better Italian ice. We also have incredible restaurants all over the island, though mostly Italian (yum) we do have other amazing places to eat.
Those Manhattan skyline views from Staten Island are awesome
They sure are :)
As a Staten Islander I can honestly say that all the fun things to do are illegal
Angel Torres lol
You have no life then... .
Do tell
@@jab7168 no you dont understand staten island lmao
@@jab7168 you explore the abandoned psych hospital you climb the shopping center or you get f'd up in a park....that is what you do on s.i. as a kid lmao
I live on Staten Island and let me tell you, the parks are amazing here! Also would've included the conference house on the list!
Yes, I love the Conference house! I go there often.
Yes, but you forget to mention that Staten Island has NYC highest incidence of lyme disease due to its large and many parks. If you're gonna go make sure to check yourself for ticks.
They only covered the north shore. S.I. pride
@@noonexoxo7482
Not to mention the highest cancer rate from Maine to Key West.
Thank you fresh kills landfill
Limes I live right near the Conference House and to me it’s the last bit of beauty left on Staten Island. Hopefully it stays that way and the tourists don’t come and shit it up!
I’m now in New York and went ro Staten Island last Sarurday and it’s worth it. I’ve visited almost the 80% of the places that You recomended!
The Chinese scholar gardens are amazing! So much culture and art. 💕💕
I lived in Staten Island for most of my life and most of the things to do are further out to go to the veterans ice rink or USA roller jam or the indoor trampoline park and even the Staten Island mall
Sandygroud Museum on the south shore would have been nice on the list. The Sandy Ground Historical Museum, located within the Sandy Ground community of Rossville in the borough of Staten Island, is dedicated to the oldest continuously inhabited free black settlement in the United States.
Awesome, can’t wait to hit some of these spots you point out. Thanks Jon.
Thank you for this video! I'm going to NYC in a couple weeks (so excited!!) and am planning on taking the ferry to see the Statue of Liberty. This video is so helpful to know what I should do over in Staten Island... thanks again, I love your videos and thank you for all the time & effort you put into them!
You're exactly the target audience for this video :) you're welcome
Thank You!!
Thanks again for a great video! I learned so much about Staten Island and will definitely plan a trip in the future. Keep up the great work 👍🏻
I really enjoy all these videos you put up about exploring NY. Great job! I live on Staten Island myself. Some commenters have mentioned them, but there are a few places that are worth seeing:
1. Lighthouse Museum tours - I'm sure you know, but the lighthouse museum also offers boat tours where you can view the harbor and see different lighthouses in the NY area. I've been on a few myself and they are really fun. A highlight for photographers.
2. Staten Island Ferry - we all know this, of course, but I wanted to point out a notable mention you can see from the ferry upon approach to the island: Robbin's Reef lighthouse. The Maritime Museum in Snug Harbor owns it (on the same side as the Statue of Liberty, which is also an official lighthouse)!
3. Fort Wadsworth - Just underneath the Verrazano Bridge, Fort Wadsworth offers an amazing view of the harbor. You can go early in the morning with a cup of coffee and just view the harbor. This I would put as a HIGH recommend to visit. Side note: on top of Battery Weed fort is a white lantern, this is actually a small lighthouse known as Fort Wadsworth Lighthouse :).
4. Alice Austin House - I would recommend visiting when its open, but you can walk the land around it, which has a nice view of the harbor.
5. Bayonne Bridge - This bridge was recently renovated and now has a pedestrian walkway! The view from the bridge is AWESOME, you have an excellent view of the city skyline, as well as Staten Island and New Jersey. If you walk across and back completely, that's about a 4 mile walk. I highly recommend this as well for an outdoor activity.
6. Staten Island Range (I think you can tell at this point that I like lighthouses, haha). This would be more of a quick stop. You can't go inside the lighthouse since it's active, but you can walk around the base and take pictures. It's a beautiful, rustic looking lighthouse.
7. Staten Island Mall - this mall has received a MASSIVE renovation. It's so nice now! You can spend hours in there. It even has a Dave & Busters, new food court, and a mix of stores.
Just a few of my favorites on here. Some notable mentions are the Conference House (which is deep in Staten Island), Historic Richmond Town, and Clove Lakes Park. In all, I would say Staten Island is the best place to go for outdoor activities and history buffs, but even the above recommendations can cater to all. Cheers!
I really appreciate your videos,John!Very professional and very informative.
Great video as always!
Another great video! Fingers crossed I get to spend my Birthday (Dec 29th) in NYC this year!!!
Excellent NYC video
Great tips for some reasons for stepping off the ferry in SI!
Luv ur NYC tours so much. It's a pity I might never be able to visit in this lifetime.
If one has more time to kill, "Richnmondtown Restoration" has an area of SI dedicated to conserving an area for what NYC looked like during colonial times.
It's been a month since I visited NYC and I can't stop thinking about coming back here! Keep up the great content.
I was born in Staten Island. I have so many great memories growing up in SI!!! My family lived in Tompkinsville and St. George.
Just came across this vlog on RUclips. My husband and I had the opportunity to visit Staten Island a few weeks ago. We "accidentally" came across the Empire Outlets while looking for a place to sit and eat. This is a fantastic location to relax and take in the beautiful view of lower Manhattan. However, the one disappointment was the lack of proper signage at the St George's Ferry terminal providing tourist with information on the outlet mall. Staten Island has so much to offer but it really seems to be the forgotten borough of NYC.
Good to know.
👍 6:31 The heart of rock and roll is still beating🎵🎵
As a Staten Island resident, there are tons of places, eateries, you name it that you can vlog about on Staten Island. I've vlogged every inch of this island if you want to check out some of my videos (i recommend looking thru my playlists) if you wanna get some ideas about some places to check out. I can also tell you most of the best spots for foodies. The only downside about Staten Island is you really need a car to get around, and the traffic is horrendous but other than that we have some great areas to explore. Especially the parks if you want great places to hike in NYC while feeling like you're upstate.
A few other recommendations I would make are The hop shoppe and The Coupe. Hop shoppe has great food, drinks and live music on the weekend! For one of the best cocktail bars in NYC you have to check out The Coupe! Trust me!
Great video!
Nicely done... also, Alice Austin House, Tibetan Museum, Blue Heron Park, Greenbelt... take care from Staten Island.... so many unique places out on the Island too, South Shore. Beaches in the summer as well.
Great video I am telling everyone heading to New York to watch your video about Staten Island, food shopping and museums, thanks from east coast of canada
:) thanks , please do share.
One place not too well known is Staten Island Borough Hall, situated right across from the ferry terminal. There are huge murals (floor to ceiling) that tell the story on Staten Island. It is free to get into.
Makes sense that Pier 76 is owned by the same family as Joe & Pat’s. The pizza looked familiar just before you mentioned it
The thin crust was very distinctive.
Thank you for this! I just took my NYC vacation, which was supposed to be a once in a lifetime visit. BUT, there are SO many things I ran out of time to do! Visiting Staten Island & the Brooklyn Breweries are only 2 things I missed. SO, already thinking about my next visit! 2022?
St. George Theater is beautiful!
Snug Harbor is one of my favorite places in NYC! Thanks for the shoutout
Thanks for the great footage :)
Great video, One thing i can recommend is catching a baseball game at the Staten Island Yankees. You get amazing views of the skyline while sat in your seat! and it has a great feeling of the minor leagues, I enjoyed my visit here more than my Mets visit for sure.
Yep , we didn’t include it bc was out of season
Looks like you guys had a blast! Next time you visit Staten, trek down to Historic Richmond Town and Conference House Park !
Nice!
Thanks for coming to SI
Gonna check out Empire Outlets. You're right, still under the radar. Besides doing the "Staten Island shuffle" on the ferry I've really only visited friends or family in Park Hill & that was in the past.
We went to Staten Island - by sheer chance happened upon an awesome pub called Steiny's - we basically stayed there for many beers and returned to Manhattan happy and delighted we had met so many lovely people!
Next time more of a tour!
So happy you went to Staten Island.
Staten Island needs some love to.
Thank u for the great info. I had no idea 💡 there were outs there. Oh wait u got engaged lovely👏🏼🤗
Hahah thanks.
Nice Video
AND the Impractical Jokers represent it so well! After COVID, my first destination is Staten Island.
10 minutes of awesomeness, Jon. A good mix of things to do - even for a typical bloke who doesn't clothes shop. Has Team Adriana thought about trying her hand at doing shampoo adverts???
Haha 😂
I never knew how much Staten island had to offer. That was a great video. Thanks Jon.
I never knew either ;) hahahaha.
Fitting that they had a model of the St. Augustine lighthouse!
Adriana looked for it, not me hahaha.
I wish you'd posted this a few months earlier. We toured the Empire outlets and got back on the ferry!
Love It! Shared ;->
Wow...bonjour Jon ....wow wow wow ça c est l endroit idėal pour moi....coup de coeur absolu....
Et revoilà la belle Adriana❤...j adore cette vidéo....merci Jon ❤
That’s a great way to spend a day
👌🏻
SI local here man cool to see this 😂
I'm back on the video! haha I had such a great time exploring, you have to visit!!
;)
You make a good model, Adriana!
Pier 76 is my favorite pizza on Staten Island! The best
Love your channel. Excited to come visit NY. We may be staying on SI when we visit NY. Are there any areas that are not safe for tourists to visit?
Stated Island is on the list to visit and gotta taste that Vodka pie great video 👍👍👍👍
Thanks Mick !!
Wowww i took down notes
:)
I played the St. George theater many years ago when the paint was still peeling off the walls. Don't forget the summer Kreischer Mansion concerts in Charleston. Just don't get mad if you see the friggin traffic along the way.
Also, there are a lot of good Italian restaurants on SI, as 40% of SI residents are Italian and/or Italian American!
Joe Dazey I’m Puerto Rican
Hehehehe
@@bramlovestogame8035 Yes, there is a good amount of Hispanic/Latino population on SI. Certainly, the Puerto Rican population is the majority.
Hehehehe we rule
Thanks for giving me even MORE reasons to visit NYC again!
John, you have a really good channel but this is one of your best episodes. One of the best of it’s kind on all of RUclips. Mega props from a fellow cancer survivor. 👍
Thanks so much
I AM A STAGE 4 BREAST CANCER, TRYING TO GO BACK TO VISIT WITH MY 16 YR DAUGTHER. TRYING TO SAVE SOME MONEY TO CELEBRATE LIFE AGAIN AT N.Y.. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏ME AND MY DAUTHER JUST LOVED ❤❤❤❤I MISS MY N.Y. I WAS RACE THER😕😕😕
I would love to learn about Staten Island and take a tour of it
I live a few hours away from St. Augustine!!!
Pier 76 pizza is amazing!
Representing 431 Henderson Ave West brighten baby you know
Mark Braaten WESTBRIGHTON!!!!!
really enjoying your NYC travel videos as we prepare for our trip next week :) I wonder if they allow children below 6 in the brewery, would you know by any chance?
hoping to bump into you when we are in NYC next week!!!
Hey Barr, there's no citibikes in SI so what would be the best way to get around? In your opinion.
We have just returned from our trip to New York. We did the Staten Island ferry as you advised, the view of the Statue of Liberty was a lot closer than I expected, so would definitely recommend it. We went to the outlet centre and had a spend up. I wish we had known about the outlet centre before we went to Woodburry Common as we could have saved ourselves $100 dollars on our tickets. I wanted to look around Staten Island but we had done so much walking are feet were sore and we were so exhausted.Maybe next time.
Honestly as a local staten islander I do like the Saint George outlets but me and my family do prefer Woodbury commons
It's such a shame they cancelled the NY wheel! I was really looking forward to riding it!
Dennis Sandoval FAAAAAAAAAAAACT!!!! Should’ve taken yo another whole level and it would added a bit of colorful moment... now it looks like forgettable place that their store went to bankrupt.
Same
then THANK GOD it was cancelled
@@BabieBoyBlew that doesnt make sense whatsoever
@@legitsportzseller9718 Actually it does make sense, I cant help it your not intelligent enough to understand
The school that I go to(Curtis H.S) Is only 10/20 minutes away from all of those place’s, so I have a chance to go there when I want too and when I want to(not to brag but I go to the ferry every day to take the bus and stop at the empire outlet for my morning coffee in starbucks)
I went to Curtis too you know
Can you do a video on top skyline views on Staten Island? and top places to stay (Like Fort place B+B) ?
5:59 bro, I live near St.Augustine. I’m in Palm Coast Florida.
From Staten island now Tampa. Staten island smells like shit. Place sucks
Pizza looks good, Damn!
;)
can you do down town manhattan i need to find more fun stuff down there
A few years ago I took the Staten Island ferry and got off St George, and I walked around by curiosity to see what happening there, I knew they where building the outlets, but didn't knew half of it is open already, snug harbor is another place I want to visit.
Fascinating - who knew there would be such large public parks available with many compelling sites to visit, plus unmissable eating and drinking. Thank you for sharing your adventures. Hello from London ; - )
I'm with the Staten Island Gazelle
I cant believe she said Yes to you. ;)
can you do a review on the plaza hotel please
Mark braaten sez hi to Aida Odell and Jimmy McKay luv u both
Man staten island is nice
Crazy how finally Staten Island made it !!! I’m from Staten Island this makes me happy
You guys chose two of the most expensive stores. These vids must be treating you well, lmao!
I wish you had made this video in early September :)
I wish I made it a long time to lol
😎saludos y Adriana hermosa tu cabello 😍
Hmm...I've wanted to check out Staten Island for a while, thank you for the excellent suggestions! Video is top notch as always Jon!!👏
I live in Richmond town :)
At 1st i wanted to go. After watching your video I not only threw up but now I never want to go to Saitan island
There are lighthouses you can go in on Staten Island? Where and what is it called ?
Here be barr is the best of you tube
This is wonderful! I’m currently visiting NYC and took the Staten Island Ferry for the views, but came right back because I didn’t know what all to do on the island. I’m going to be making another trip soon!! Thanks!!
Hey dude, great video as always. I’m in nyc right now, any chance you’d have time to meet a fan? I’m headed home on thursday so any time in between now and then. Have a good day.
Unfortunately, I don't have the time to meet with individual viewers right now . I want to do another viewer meet up in the near future though. Hope you enjoy your trip.
Here Be Barr no worries then, next time. Trip has been a blast!
Adriana should give recommendations for day of the dead!
What about the Garibaldi and Meucci museum?
Hey John! I have a question. Do you think you'll be living in NYC for the rest of your life? It seems like the kind of place, especially Manhattan, that an elderly man/woman wouldn't be able to handle. Just curious.
Rest of my life not sure.. Foreseeable future yes.
Big Boi that’s crazy cause all of my elderly family members live in NY. Plus John have a long way to go to even think about that...
@@dream_psychnurse3360 I understand he has a long way to go, but I was asking a New Yorker for an answer I was wondering.
Thank you!! There is a lot of fun things to do in Staten Island. I know, I live there. A lot of nature, wildlife, museums and culture!! People call it the forgotten borough, but they should check it out.
You should check into a home g-ma
I have a navy buddy that lives here. We can bend a few back at that brewery. Thanks Jon!
