The New York Connection

Visitors to and residents of New York City alike enjoy access to a rich and diverse array of museums, cultural organizations, arts performances, sports teams, societies and attractions. A listing and links to some of the most popular NYC attractions is below. We encourage you to find out more about them here, so that during your visit to Wagner College, you can also plan a visit to what we feel is one of the most vibrant and exciting cities in the world. You can also check out New York City's official visitor website, NYC GO.

To get to Manhattan from Staten Island, you can take a ride on the world-famous Staten Island Ferry, a well-recognized icon of New York City transportation, and incidentally, a free ride into the heart of New York City.

While most people think of Manhattan when they think of New York City, it is important to remember that four other boroughs, The Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn and Staten Island help form the richness of the City. Some of the links provided here will help you explore these other areas of New York City, which have been an integral part of forming the City's identity. You will find that Staten Island has more than a few attractions to keep you busy. Access information about attractions and events on Staten Island through the Staten Island Live web site www.silive.com.
