Forget Alaska, there's a new destination for extreme travellers looking for a mix of David Lynchesque surrealism and undiscovered territory without the jet lag: Staten Island. The Times's own Andy Newman took a week-long hike around the circumference of the island and tells the tale in today's Sunday paper. Don't have time to read the article? Watch the video instead.
Although we thought Newman ran across more rural weirdness than we tend to encounter on most days, the article and its insights reinforced for us why we love it here. Check out the article and then say five times fast: "This is New York City. This is New York City. This is New York City..." Plus, the article made us feel a little better about our mosquito problem.
