The Tobacco and Gift Emporium has a great selection of cigars and cigarettes at good prices. They also have an extensive collection of Zippo lighters (which can be ordered if they are not in stock) as well as others. You can play the Lotto here as well. Located in a popular shopping plaza, parking is always available. I often frequent this store if I am in the area, and have never waited in line for more than five minutes.

A very tranquil and beautiful museum. Something you would not expect to find in Staten Island but there it is. This Tibetan museum has art, books, and photographs on everything...Tibetan. They have a beautiful garden that would put the Brooklyn Botanical to shame. They also hold meditation walks and yoga classes. Entering the museum is like stepping into the past.

This memorial is very tastefully done. When I first saw it, from far away I thought it looked dull. When I got closer to it and saw the names of people I knew, it had a whole different meaning.
When you look up you can see the New York skyline and it brings you right back to September 11th. You immediately remember where you were, who you were with and who you lost. When you visit here, especially at night, you can see the carvings of each person lost and it's lit up from behind and it casts a shadow of that persons' profile. The resemblance is very similar to those it represents. It makes you feel like they never left, and they are always with you.
If you need to remember why we are fighting to end terrorism, or you just want to pay your respects to some of those who lost their lives needlessly on September 11th, then you should visit this special place.

The Bike Shop is a very good place to get a bike whether you are a novice or an experienced rider. The staff is well informed about bikes and they have experienced mechanics on hand. The bikes are expensive though. They can cost you from $150 to $250 unless you catch a sale during off peak.

I use this place to get my signs because it is the place my company uses. They do a good job and they do it rather quickly but I find their prices expensive. They are a bit out of the way . I once ordered magnetic business cards but they were much cheaper on ebay

Staten Island is used to having the watered-down version of everything cultural - we have nice little museums, but they cant compete with Manhattan...we have a cute little kids zoo, but it's no Bronx Zoo...we have galleries, but...
However, the Staten Island Botonical Gardens are as good (if not as large) and very different from the cities other gardens. First of all, for kids, the Secret Garden is a fantasy castle and garden perfect for any child obsessed with robin hood or king arthur...and besides the beautiful more typical flower gardens, the Chinese Scholar's Garden is unique in the city. It is peaceful and a gorgeous example of this living Eastern art form.
The only bad thing about the gardens is you'll wish you could enjoy them all year, instead of just the warm season.

The National Lighthouse museums is about the history and legacy of lighthouses around the country. It preserves the history of lighthouses. It has just about every little bit of history of lighthouses that you would never know about. It has a lot of little known trivia. The museum is a little out of the way but it is worth the trek.
