EXPLORING STATEN ISLAND





Eunice and I decided to begin exploring the borough of Staten Island in New York City. We met up with Merle who will be writing some articles. There are five boroughs in New York City. Manhattan is the one that everyone goes to and the other boroughs are referred to as the "Outer Boroughs". Because Staten Island is so separate from the others...for years, the only way to get there was by ferry...Merle is going to call it the "Outer-Outer Borough".

We went to this restaurant, Ruddy & Dean North Shore Stead Company, just a few blocks from the ferry. It looks like I'm needing glasses to read and sometimes to see the food up close. Oh well! I had to borrow Merle's glasses.

Great wine list! We had some oysters...I think one was a kumamoto, another was a Wellfleet and the other a Blue Point. We didn't care...we were just hungry!

We indulged in a cup of lobster bisque and then shared a Bone in ribeye steak and some tasty scallops.

All was delicious!
