10 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Staten Island That You Shouldn't Miss
The most suburban of the five boroughs, Staten Island is often neglected as a tourist destination. Take a ride from Manhattan on the Staten Island Ferry and get some of the best views of New York City for free, then stick around and see what Staten Island has to offer. Check out the Himalayan monastery-style Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art, or visit Historic Richmond Town for a recreation of colonial New York. The beautiful Hamilton Park neighborhood was the setting for "The Godfather."

A good place to go with kids to have a good time, I love the fire truck and the indoor set up since it is well designed to suit best for kids.

Absolutely beautiful!!! Entry pricey. Better to attend without young kids. Displays beautiful and if you have individuals interested, it’s a beautiful and amazing display. Not to MISS, but leave the youngsters behind. They would NEVER appreciate the beauty of the display. Snug Harbor has many other events and displays that I am unfortunately unfamiliar with, but if this was a preview, the rest is not to be missed

We visited the St. George Theater on Staten Island to see the 15th annual Christmas Show. The event includes local performers and dancers from around SI. It was ok. The theater itself is a site to behold! It's being refurbished over many years and has an early 20th century atmosphere, very baroque. I've seen several shows here and there are very few bad seats in the house. RCSB seats are especially good if you get event tickets early. They have an eclectic list of events including cover bands, oldies, DJs, and movies! Prices are typically equivalent to the talent.

Yesterday Flagship brewery sponsored a oyster fest and they did a great job. The oyster stout was delicious and my family and I had 100 oysters. The entertainment was great . The bands played rock and roll and it bought back great memories. Next year I will be there.

I am so pleased I found this compact and informative museum (expansion coming in the next few years). Friendly and knowledgeable staff and some good exhibits (a big "thank you" to Jim for the enthusiastic orientation and local knowledge). A very pleasant way to pass an hour or two. Only a short walk from the ferry terminal and just up the road from the Flagship Brewery for those in need of sustenance. Definitely worth the trip to Staten Island.
