It was a cold experience to be on board of the John F Kennedy, but to see Lady Liberty from the ferry was incredible. She looked so small from the distance and that really caught my attention. Once there we asked some police officer about which bus we should take to travel around the island. He was very kind to tell us that the best option was the train since it travels all across the island and at the end of its journey you can see New Jersey on the other side. Another officer told us about New Dorp, one of the train stop where you can choose among different places to eat.
We took the train to Tottenville(last stop) and when we started to walk around I could not believe what I was seeing. Such beautiful houses; some new, others old and some others a little bit neglected as regards their appearance. The place was so quiet that we could only hear ourselves. If I could choose on a place where to spend some time just to rest, it would be Tottenville in Staten Island.
I almost forget!! We had the best pizza at Villa Monte, a cozy place in New Dorp. Totally recommendable!!
