on Staten Island. Probably the Victorian Manor. Anyone familiair with this
B&B? With transport to Manhattan from here? With transport from Newark
Airport to here?

(1) Which way to travel around the peninsula, clockwise or counterclockwise?
(2)  What must-do activities?  (semi-fit 60s person)

thanks
