1
Snug Harbor Cultural Center & Botanical Garden

1000 Richmond Terr.
Once a home for retired sailors, this sprawling complex spans 28 buildings and 14 botanical gardens. The New York Chinese Scholar’s Garden is the best-known attraction (and rightly so); to get there, be sure to stroll through the Allée, a gorgeous walkway with a canopy of 120 hornbeam trees.

Walker Park
3
54 Delafield Place
This handsome park has playgrounds, soccer fields and baseball diamonds—and an intriguing history. The green space was owned by the Staten Island Cricket and Baseball Club from 1886 to 1925, and the group, now known as the Staten Island Cricket and Tennis Club, continues to host cricket matches here to this day. In colder weather, it’s a fine place for a spot of tranquility.
4
Nürnberger Bierhaus
4
817 Castleton Ave.
This charming bar and beer hall offers an expansive menu of brews and comfort food, along with flourishes of Teutonic decor. Order up some schnitzel, wursts or a couple of pretzels, and drink one of the 10 brews on tap.
5
Clove Lakes Park
5
1150 Clove Rd.
For leisurely recreation outdoors, head to one of the City’s lesser-known rinks—an ice-skater’s paradise located within the nearly 200-acre green space. On your way in or out, at Forest Avenue and Clove Road, you can marvel at Staten Island’s oldest living organism: a 300-year-old tulip tree.
6
Adobe Blues
6
63 Lafayette Ave.
This laid-back saloon is serious when it comes to its suds selection. There are 200 or so beers from countries around the world along with a menu of tasty Tex-Mex dishes to help you soak them up.
7
Randall Manor Tavern
7
735 Castleton Ave.
This neighborhood joint serves elevated pub grub as well as a special steak dinner that rivals what you’ll find at Manhattan chophouses. Plus, at its long wooden bar and outdoor seating area, you won’t have to elbow your way to a beer.
8
Liedy's Shore Inn
8
748 Richmond Terrace
It’s no wonder why this bar is both a local favorite and the oldest bar on Staten Island. The cheap drinks, live music and down-to-earth vibe add up to a recipe for longevity.
