    Watercolor painting (painted with artist paint and natural, plant-derived paint)

    I feel so lucky to have this stunning and spacious wooded park less than 5 minutes from my home. I hiked along one of their trails in the autumn (best time to go) and recently, I came here for a meet-up event hosted by Greenbelt - watercoloring painting. In a nearby cabin, a group of us sat and painted with a variety of natural, plant-derived paints made from berries found right here in the Greenbelt! They also had store-bought watercolor paints as well. I used both natural and artist watercolor paint in my piece. After we finished painting, most of us left for a 30 minute walk through the area. We found some of the berries we painted with earlier along the trail and walked across a small bridge over a pond on the way back. Although it was a very hot day, the variety of tall trees that surrounded us provided a leafy canopy, creating a path that is cooler than the city sidewalks and nearby golf course. You can lose track of time and forget very quickly you are in the fast-spaced city once you step inside these quiet woods. What I recommend for a visit here: A bottle of water Some bug spray A good pair of sneakers A small snack like a granola bar And of course, your phone or camera

    This is the gem of Staten Island outdoor activity. You can hike for hours and not come across the same path. The trails are well preserved and if you're into birding there are a decent number of species to see.

    The fact that the Greenbelt exists makes me happy to be a New Yorker.

This was a four course meal preceded by an extremely large antipasto buffet. From beginning to the end the food was fabulous. The entire wait and bartender staff were absolutely fantastic and took care of everyone's needs with a smile. A special shout out to Joe and Claudia who were a delight. Their professionalism and kindness went above and beyond. I would give the Stone House 5 stars for any type of party or dinning experience.

The restaurant was quiet when we arrived and we were seated at a wonderful table overlooking the lake. The setting felt relaxed and welcoming--perfect for both a special date night and family gathering. Service Our party included a 1-year-old, and the staff was incredibly accommodating. The servers were friendly, attentive, and helped make the experience easy and enjoyable. Food The food was solid across the board. Everything arrived hot, fresh, and flavorful. We ordered the calamari, vegetable pasta with added chicken, pork chop, steak, and spicy seafood. The standout dish was definitely the pork chop, but every dish was enjoyable. Overall This is a great spot for a special occasion or a family meal. Between the beautiful lake views, welcoming service, and good food, we had a very pleasant experience. I would recommend it and would happily return when I'm in the area again.

    great staff gym is never to crowded also its best bang for your buck…read moremight not have the newest equipment but it will do

    Greenbelt Recreation Center is a decent recreation center…read more One of the three NYC Recreational Centers in Staten Island located in the heart of the island. The weight room is decent with most of the standard machines - chest press, bicep curl, leg press, cable fly, crunch machine, lat pulldown, etc. The weight room is lacking a power rack or squat rack which is huge. Not ideal for people who are serious into lifting. However, there is a flat bench press. The heaviest dumbbell set went up to 60 lbs (for some reason, there is a lone 65 lbs dumbbell) which is an improvement from the Ocean Breeze Rec Center (pair of 50 lbs dumbbell heaviest). The weight room is a bit uncomfortably warm during winter when I went here often two years ago. However, the cardio room felt like the perfect temperature to do cardio in - if I remember correctly, the windows were normally opened, and the cardio equipment were generally OK. The treadmills were fine, but the ellipticals and stationary bikes felt lower quality (not much resistance on them). The second floor of this rec center was interesting - there is a room for ping pong, another room for gaming (board games and XBox), and another room with computers. I saw some college-age looking students working in the computer rooms when I went. Overall, a pretty decent facility if you are into general fitness/health.
