So Staten Island is one of the 5 boroughs of NYC , as well as Manhattan, Brooklyn , Queens and the Bronx . This island is roughly 2 times larger than Manhattan . And yet, nobody ever talks about, for good Because that is all zero. The people of Staten Island form the Republican splinter group in the heart of the Big Apple Democrat. That vote Bush in stride, and probably McCain soon to mark its difference. Moreover, a recent survey indicates that most islanders would prefer to be administratively detached from NYC. For that alone they deserve contempt. Touristically sucks, and most guides ds do not even speak. But I still wanted to watch more closely if it was as lame as what they say. In the rain, which certainly did not help me make a good opinion. So in bulk, it yaa Staten Island :
- Verrazano Bridge , linking the island to Brooklyn . You've probably seen at the New York marathon, it's that leave competitors. Unfortunately, we do not pass on foot, and have a good viewpoint to admire it proves a real challenge.
- Small bourgeois houses, lifeless. I am sure that the sun's got to be pretty, and maybe even pleasant, but the rain is really sad.
- A line train (or subway) glaucous, with one train every half hour and crows in the train. Buses work better, but their track is completely random.
- a small historic village, which I unfortunately failed to achieve, the woes of public transportation and weather has been right to me.
short a complete waste of time, the visit to this island. However, all is forgiven because there is a ferry that connects the southern tip of Manhattan, free. The view is superb we pass near the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Tourists no mistake and rush to nicely round trip, well worth it! That said, dogged by bad luck on me, in 3 passages I have not been able to take it in good time and take a picture drinking ...
