I've been pretty busy with work and have had a steady stream of couch surfers. These photos are from late August when our couch surfer Vince came to visit from Vancouver. We (Crystal, Ross, and me) took him to Staten Island on his first full day to see Housed at the Alice Austen House Museum, which was curated by my buddy Joseph Maida. The Austen House is on a great site, facing the water. We all enjoyed the change of pace and the water's breeze.
We also took the fine opportunity out on the island to eat at Salvatore's, which was voted as best pizza in NYC on the 5 boro pizza tour. I'm not completely convinced that it's the best pizza because we did not have the margherita, which is the best way (we believe) to judge pizzas. We had the clam pie which is a whole other animal (fantastic) and a pepperoni pie which was too greasy but overall the taste was good and the dough was phenomenal. I am convinced though that another day trip out to Staten Island would be well worth it.
