I am a native Staten Islander. I currently live here. It's homes and strip malls. There are a lot of parks. I like it better than the rest of the city.
I was born in Brooklyn, raised in Queens and currently on Long Island. I’ve spent time in EVERY major borough besides Staten Island, even though my mom grew up off Ft. Hamilton Parkway on the Bay Ridge side of the Verrazano. I got the idea driving back through from Jersey yesterday to find stuff to do and explore Staten Island, the one borough I’ve never really stopped in. Any recommendations? 😎👍🏻
A city among cities and appreciated by foreign person's and the greatest and most beautiful city I've seen this far thank god for new York I wouldn't want to live no where else.
This is where much of NYC's remaining white (Catholic) working to lower middle class reside. They fled (those who didn't leave New York State) from Brooklyn and Queens largely to Staten Island and Suburban Long Island. It's a place where the old "Taxi" "fudeddaboutit" culture is still alive.. Great video!
NYC is the safest or secund safest big city in the United States. Btw NYC has low street homelessness because they are in shelters or transitional housing. In that regard New York State is number 1or 2 per capita but in terms of street homelessness it is far from the top. Nothing like the West Coast or other regions.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS only those outside of NYC Those who’ve never step foot or drove around Come up with bullshit saying it’s smelly and homeless filled 😂😂
I grew up there and now live in VT - that's not my bmw, though! Haha. I still love going to Staten Island. Great food, great views, great people. Shoutout to Bari's Pizza!
I was born and raised for 23 years on Long Island, and I’ve only ever been on Staten Island when I was driving through to get to Jersey. I’ve never actually spent real time on Staten Island. The only 3 places that I know about pretty well on the island are Tottenville, Grant City, and New Dorp.
I've been to New York on vacation one time, I had a good time there. I've driven a truck through New York city on the freeways It was crazy just driving on 95 going through town. I couldn't imagine making a delivery there.
TBH if you are a true New Yorker (NYC resident) you can see and say this video could have been in any borough of NYC. It depends on where you go. We have the good, the bad, the ugly, and the most beautiful! 💯👍🏽 20:50 And this is one of the biggest frustrations of living in NYC if you are a driver -- finding a parking space that doesn't clean out your wallet, finding a parking space in time, finding a parking space that is not is not 1 to 3 LONG blocks from your destination!!🤦🏽♀
If you go to New Jersey and are looking for a place to eat, try the Skylark diner in Edison. It is rated one of the best diners in NJ - and it isn't far from Staten Island.
I don't really go to Staten Island alot I remember last summer I took the Staten Island ferry from Manhattan to Staten Island it was free you can even bring your own cars on that ferry to and when you on that ferry you can get a good view of NYC and a good view of the Statue of Liberty I only rode the Staten Island Ferry once.
I'm sorry you didn't get to go to the southern parts of SI. Beautiful neighborhoods, lots of parks, surprisingly varied wildlife (deer, turkey, bald eagles, seals at the far south shore)
There's a street named after them, a big mural, the buildings of the clan, etc etc. As a matter of fact it's right up the street from where you drove @@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS
18:47 I been to that Ferry terminal when I took the Statue of Liberty from Manhattan to Staten Island then I took a Uber from the Terminal to the Staten Island Mall.
The cons of NYC is how expensive for a small room could be, the cold winters, and how how over crowded it is. Other than that, NYC is ad always will be a great city. Soo much diversity of culture. I live in The Bronx. What I really love is when I'm hungry and I wanna order food, i got a options of ordering many cultural restaurants within a mile radius. The people that truly hate New York because they're racist and hate any Blue state. Once I was commenting on some article about Hollywood and many southerners were bashing it and i made some reply and someone replied to me "why would anyone ever wanna live in NYC?", i looked at their profile and saw they were from Alabama, it figures
U out of Towner's make me puke, again new York city is not all Manhattan it has four other parts ok where there u might find it to be more relaxing and containable than Manhattan is what u call new York city
There are homeless people on the street in NYC. it depends where you go. I saw some in parts closer to Manhattan and near stations. And there's probably more in places where the rest of us don't go.

Queens is very nice to.
I was not surprised when I Googled safest borough in NY and Staten Island was it.😎
Im 20 years proud Staten Island resident!
Staten island is pretty chill, thanks for noticing. We do have a lot of knuckleheads, but it's not as bad as people try to make it out to be.
awesome visit, we found a great NY style pizza place where we live in Florida
One thing I miss about New York , is the food.
Me toooooooooooo 😭😭😭💔
A city among cities and appreciated by foreign person's and the greatest and most beautiful city I've seen this far thank god for new York I wouldn't want to live no where else.
I bet new York miss nothing about, cause they be on there block parties and not giving a dang about nothing

Yes! BK is a diverse place now. I noticed around tuckahoe alot of that as well
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS oops I meant "fugeddaboutit", lol..
Staten Island has the second highest average household income in NYC. Only Manhattan is higher.
@@sirich7751 yes, that is also true.
Beautiful placed...nice vedio,worthwatching..watching

Yeah you rarely see homeless on the streets of NYC they do a good job
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS only those outside of NYC

Lived on Stat Isle for 46 yrs , laws enforced there, unlike NYC which has returned to its 70's crime times.

Hectic lifestyle
They hate it because it’s really expensive. I grew up in Staten Island, NY for years. Right now, I’m living in Tennessee.
do you like tennesse better than nyc? also what part of both regions are you in or were from?
@@infoguy1978 I from Staten Island, NY and I’m living Tennessee. buying a house and paying rent are cheap.
@@AlfredoBasurto1 but which do you prefer? also what region of tennessee are you in?
@@infoguy1978 Woodbury, TN and Nashville
@@AlfredoBasurto1 last questions is it nicer out there than staten island? aesthetically and weather wise?
You should visit the Ironbound section of Newark mostly Brazilian and Portuguese area
Great area
1:12 I been over the Verazano Bridge million of times Jose it goes from Brooklyn to Staten Island
this is where the grumpy NYers who move down to Florida come from. Staten Island and Long Island 🗽
And parts of brooklyn! I make wampy new yorker moving to florida.
The normal progression is once you leave brooklyn you move to staten island then new jersey then florida
@@frankiemionettoalso queens to Long Island to Florida
And when they find out how horrible Florida is they bring they buts back to new York and new York wished they stayed a way
Why?

You can bring your cars on the ferry again I thought they discontinued that
I'm sorry you didn't get to go to the southern parts of SI. Beautiful neighborhoods, lots of parks, surprisingly varied wildlife (deer, turkey, bald eagles, seals at the far south shore)
Sounds awesome
Ya should have taken the top level of the Verrazzano bridge to get a better view of everything.
😐🤦 next time
Dang that sucks. I feel dumb now
Welcome to WuTang land. Lol
Wutang from here? Ohh no way!
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS yes, you passed their neighborhood right before you guys saw the skyline view
How was the pizzeria? I grew up there but haven't been in there for almost 10 years
There's a street named after them, a big mural, the buildings of the clan, etc etc. As a matter of fact it's right up the street from where you drove @@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS
Lived in Todt Hill for a while. I went to Wagner H.S. Kinda miss the old neighborhood.
Bro thanks for driving through the state I was born in! (Born in Long Island New York and not in New York City)
SI is a wonderful middle class bedroom community
Used to live there for 4 years❤❤
It has its problems but it’s my home :)
WU-TANG FOREVER!
That's where I live. Kool
Awesome view of the Statue of Liberty currently my channel banner😊
18:47 I been to that Ferry terminal when I took the Statue of Liberty from Manhattan to Staten Island then I took a Uber from the Terminal to the Staten Island Mall.
I've lived there for a lifetime I'm still here in staten island
It’s crazy how some parts of the boroughs look like jersey/upstate ny.
Tens of thousands of new yorkers are moving to florida for a reason!
You should have taken the ferry -- it's free and it goes by the Statue of Liberty.
Free? Dang. I should have!
Conozco muchos guidos en Staten Island . Hey, forget about it😬
Conosco uno en Tallahassee 😅
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS los italianos son como muchos cubanos. Si no le caes bien , te lo dice en tu cara.
I lived there for 37 years now I'm in Vegas

@ARGProductions
2 months ago- i was born in new york (now in jersey) and i cant stand it. i'm hispanic.
Alabama is a beautiful state with some great ppl but you do have that “element” ( Texan btw)
Welcome to the richest borough in NYC. Average income about $72,000 a year.
Don't forget there's a lot of people that love new york city to. So don't focus so much on the negatives
First thing I thought when watching this was if I was gunna see my house
Nyc has housing for most of the homeless. Many other places have failed
There are homeless people on the street in NYC. it depends where you go. I saw some in parts closer to Manhattan and near stations. And there's probably more in places where the rest of us don't go.
I miss the New York food. Manhattan has a homeless problem.
9:12
Did you run into any Guidos on the Island?😊
Because, They hate us cause they ain't us.
Drove through some of the most depressed neighborhoods in Staten Island. That’s not a good representation of the borough.
Why are there some people hating staten island
Jealouse is the cause of there hatred but new york don't even think about there ignorance cause we could care less bump the haters
Staten island is nice, just stay out the hoods lol.
You went to the worst part of Staten Island
Not even that bad looking
Or you could play basketball in your free time
Staten island is trash....
You two sound really confused, should have done your homework before going to a new borough, place, this video was a complete waste👎
stay in Brooklyn Staten island is shit
Stinky Island!!
