The North Shore of Staten Island-where the ferry and the two-and-a-half-mile Verrazano-Narrows Bridge act as the island’s sole connectors to the rest of the city-has less Working Girl longing these days for the culinary delights across the bay. Like many communities sequestered by water, the wheels of progress here chug along at a do-not-rush-me pace-perhaps it can seem even more pokey positioned in the shadow of the towering tip of a powerful, important metropolis, not to mention one of the most food-and-drink celebrated in the world.īut time stands stills for no place and no one.

Things don’t happen quickly on Staten Island.
