Discover Staten Island

The borough of Staten Island is a place that’s often overlooked by visitors—and fellow New Yorkers. On a two-day excursion led by arts journalist Richard Selden, discover an array of cultural and historic treasures that prove this island deserves to shed its underdog reputation. Stops include Snug Harbor Cultural Center & Botanical Garden; the Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art; and Clear Comfort, the waterfront home of pioneering photographer Alice Austen. And, of course, there’s a trip aboard the Staten Island Ferry.
