A couple of weeks ago, we were lucky enough to venture to Staten Island for a lovely (though windy!) walking tour of Staten Island's North Shore. I'd never before explored the area, and it was absolutely amazing to be guided through a place that's played such a role in the city's history, from the earliest days of its settlement through today. 

A few photos of our adventures are below, and keep an eye out for another tour later this summer! 

The most amazing view, from the Staten Island Ferry Terminal in St. George

The Neville-Tysen House, built around 1770 on Richmond Terrace

Entrance to Snug Harbor

Railings damaged by Sandy, along the north shore of Staten Island

It's not a walking tour with Mitch (and Mai!) without an abandoned car or two.
