Known forstaten islandhidden gembotanicalarchitecture
A breathtaking 83-acre campus of Greek Revival buildings, formal gardens, and cultural institutions on Staten Island that feels like a secret the rest of the city hasn't discovered. The New York Chinese Scholar's Garden is a certified masterpiece, the Staten Island Botanical Garden is free to wander, and the grounds host concerts and art exhibitions year-round. Getting here requires the Staten Island Ferry plus a bus or rideshare, which keeps crowds low — that journey is genuinely worth it.
