Description
Take the ferry to this New York City borough and discover its colorful secrets, in a quirky history packed with facts and photos.
Staten Island has a rich and fascinating cultural legacy that few people outside New York City's greenest borough know about. Chewing gum was invented on the island with the help of Mexican general Antonio López de Santa Anna. Country music legend Roy Clark got his start as a virtuoso guitar player on the Staten Island Ferry.
