visit the neighborhood

St. George is the main commuter hub of Downtown Staten Island. With ample public transportation options (a ferry, a train, a bus, and bike paths), St. George is the perfect destination to begin any journey. Start at a baseball game with the unrivaled waterfront view at Staten Island Yankees Stadium, and be sure to visit a nearby restaurant for some of New York City’s best Italian food & pizza. Marvel at historic Victorian, Tudor, and Spanish Colonial style architecture. 

There’s more to St. George and to Downtown Staten Island than you can imagine. Enjoy the rich history and layered culture that lies just a stone’s throw away from Manhattan, Brooklyn, and New Jersey’s doorsteps.

 

For domestic and international tourists alike, all roads lead to Empire Outlets, the centerpiece in New York City's newest entertainment district. Its prized location on Staten Island's waterfront, at the base of the St. George Ferry Terminal, means visitors can get here quickly and spend the day shopping, sightseeing, socializing, and more.
