From our most recent newsletter: Want an upstate wilderness adventure without traveling the distance? We're taking a hike along the magnificent Greenbelt in Staten Island, a 2,500 acre parkland. It includes two adventurous hiking trails called the Blue Trail and the White Trail. The park is a preserver of many varieties and species of animal and plant wildlife. We'll build up an appetite by walking up Moses Mountain to see a 360 degree panoramic view. Indian Buffet to follow for $5.95 a person, vegetarian meals available. Town: Staten Island State: NY
