New York City's most heavily residential borough is known for award-winning pizza and a lifestyle that feels decidedly more Middle America than bustling Manhattan (where the majority of locals commute to each day via ferry or car). Among its charms - and the things that Staten Island natives grew up knowing, loving, and visiting regularly - are Snug Harbor Cultural Center (a preserved hub of historic buildings, botanical gardens and wetlands) and the Yankees minor league team stadium at Richmond County Bank Ballpark. A growing number of modern high-rises and the increasingly hip, Victorian-lined streets of the St. George community are two other best-kept Staten Island secrets.
