Staten Island is the most suburban of the five boroughs of New York City. Although still predominantly residential in nature, the borough has changed significantly since the opening of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge in 1964. It is the closest borough to New Jersey's Newark International Airport. You may want to consider staying in a hotel on Staten Island due to its proximity to Newark Airport, lower taxi fares and shorter travel times as opposed to Manhattan.
'The team at Trip Designs planned an awesome trip for my family to the Dominican Republic. All we had to do was email Milica the dates we wanted to go and a wish list of what we wanted included. She took care of all the research and once we were satisfied, she took care of all the details. We are not easy to please but we were with her services and loved our trip! We will be booking again with her soon enough for our future trips! Thanks Trip Designs!'
