Richmond County, New York
Staten Island. That’s right, it’s a whole county. Most New Yorkers know it as the “forgotten borough,” but there’s more to Richmond County than meets the eye.
It’s the southernmost part of New York State, separated from Manhattan by the Upper Bay. Beaches line the eastern shore. The island’s got a small-town vibe that feels worlds away from city life.
Green spaces are abound. The food scene is legit, especially for Italian. Locals zip around on the free Staten Island Ferry. It’s car-friendly too, unlike the rest of NYC. Richmond County: more than just a ferry ride.
