EXPERIENCE STATEN ISLAND LIKE A NEW YORKER
NYC & Company has released its latest Get Local NYC campaign - Experience Staten Island Like a New Yorker - one of a number of initiatives to encourage visitors to explore more of New York City.
Reached by car or ferry, Staten Island offers a wide range of attractions, including Staten Island Zoo and Children’s Museum, the National Lighthouse Museum; the Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art; and the home of photographer Alice Austen, a New York City LGBTQ+ historic site.
Two ferry services connect Manhattan and Staten Island, including a free ferry from the Whitehall Ferry Terminal in Lower Manhattan (take the R train to Whitehall, the 􏰀 or 􏰁 to Bowling Green, or the 􏰂 to South Ferry), or take a NYC Ferry ($􏰃.􏰄􏰁) from either of two Manhattan departure points: Midtown West/Pier 􏰄􏰅 (near West 􏰆􏰅th Street) and Battery Park City (follow Vesey Street west to the river in Lower Manhattan).
Both ferries dock at the St. George terminal on the Staten Island side. From the ferry terminal, visitors can catch a bus, taxi or hop on the Staten Island Railway, an aboveground train that runs from St. George on the island’s North Shore all the way to Tottenville on the South Shore.
The same MetroCard used on subways and buses in NYC’s other boroughs works for buses and the railway
on Staten Island. Express buses also run to Staten Island from Manhattan and Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Visitors will also find 􏰂􏰇,􏰇􏰇􏰇 acres of parks and green spaces, plus miles of beaches, boardwalks and waterfront views.
