Sunset

Respite from the summer heat when the rain came and temperature dropped for a couple of days. On some mornings, the temperature was in the 60 degree F range. Beautiful weather.


Sunset was a sight to behold as sunlight peeped through the buildings.

Island Hopping and Coastal Views

If time permits, a trip to Staten Island offers a totally different experience and sights from busy Manhattan.Free ferry ride for all between Manhattan and Staten Island every half an hour.


The Legacy of Abrahim Lincoln lived on in this museum. The voices and sounds of the past era reverberated in the background.



The beautiful and serene surroundings of Staten Island.


No Mistake. The materials in this Chinese Garden on Staten Island were hailed from China.
