Delicious food. Decent prices. I ordered the chicken parmigian with spaghetti and I could not stop eating the sauce, it was so yummy! I also liked that they had different types of bread in la bread basket (cinnamon, garlic, etc). The TV's in the dining room I found a little distracting and they could have brighter lights in the ladies room but all in all I found the restaurant a nice relaxing place to eat delicious affordable italian food.

Much better buffet than it's predecessors. The restaurant is spacious and well organized and I am loving their giant water fountain in the front!
Great selection of Chinese and American dishes that actually taste delicious and cardboard like the other diners. Just about everything I ate from the fried chicken to the potatoes to crabmeat was so good!
I was also impressed with the serve yourself with the ice-cream station, where customers serve themselves a variety of delicious ice creams from giant tubs (FYI, long lines). The variety of the other desserts I wasn't too impressed with.
Food very cheaply priced. $9.99 for dinner. You can't beat that.
FYI: Get their early because lines form fast.

I have a new love...and she is called Francesca!!! Just discovered her in the Staten Island Mall today and she has the most beautiful clothing and jewelry. Giant statement necklaces and long chain earrings with mink on the end and uncut stone rings and bling, lots and lots of blings and the most diving handbags. Plus gorgeous clothing and quicky knick knacks that would make great stocking stuffers or secret santa gifts. You. Must. Stop. In.

New China Buffet

Wide range of Chinese, American and Italian food which taste pretty good, especially the wonton soup which anyone who lives on Staten Island knows decent wonton soup is hard to find. The desserts are so-so and the dinner prices are a bit high, but if you come for lunch specials, it's only about $7.99, which is great. Good place to take a large crowd of people.
Of the two Telco's on Staten Island, this has a slightly better selection and it's much bigger than the one on Forest Ave. I even spotted trench coats by Michael Kors, which I would have been sporting if it had fit me. The prices are a little higher here but the brands are a little more high end. :-)

Beautiful, old fashioned theatre from the roaring 20's. The old fashioned architecture alone is worth the price of admission. They have lots of children shows and concerts. Past concerts have included Diana Ross and Adam Lambert from American Idol. I went to the Halloween magic show and I was superbly impressed with how the theatre decked out the place, haunted house style. Actors that really scared you and my personal favorite was Snow White in a glass coffin! Hilarious. My only beef were the chairs. They looked like those folded up chairs, only bolted down. Weird. The rest of the theatre was gorgeous and the prices for many of the shows is cheap.

Elm Park Grocery

My company starting getting daily faxes from Elm Park with their daily lunch specials and after one lunch order my office was hooked!
The food here is so tasty and good. You actually look forward to eating the food, you're not just eating because you're hungry and there's nothing else around.
They have dishes such as stuffed shells with meatballs or crispy chicken with homemade macaroni and salad or chicken marsala.
Lunch special are usually between $6-$6.50 but you get big portions. Totally worth it.

I'm not crazy about the selections but if you dig around for awhile you can find some decent labels for fairly cheap prices. Decent dressing rooms but the place is disorganized. Also, it's a bee-yatch to get to if you don't have a car!
I got the black card when I signed up and so far I'm liking their plan. The gym is huge with loads of different machines to try. The staff is friendly, unlike other gyms. What's cool about the black card is I get to bring a guest for free whenever and I get free access to the tanning booths and the massage chair. They don't have classes but they do have trainers that help you w/problem areas.
BTW: First Monday of every month: Free pizza!

One of the best craft stores in Staten Island. They have everything from knitters, scrapbookers, bakers, jewerly designers, the works! Huge store, well organized and staff knows their stuff. I'm also loving the classes they have their. They have cake decorating, jewelry making, and more. Keep checking back into the store cause they have discount/clearance items all the time. Get on their listserv for upcoming events and sales, plus coupons.
BTW: Check the calendar in store for upcoming classes. Lots of their jewelry making classes won't show up online, only in store. Also, they have 40% & 50% coupons every week on their website and in it comes with the Sunday paper.
