The place was clean and spacious for my thanksgiving dinner party. Olga had the tables and chairs set up before I arrived to the event space and provided us with fall decorations, a parking space, garbage bags, recycling bags, a microwave, a TV and Alex speakers. We didn’t use it all for our event but appreciated the extra amenities. I would definitely book here again for future events. Thanks Olga!

This is a wonderful location for student and independent filmmakers. The host is equally if not more wonderful. She was always available if anything was needed, and was extremely understanding and flexible when it came to shifting our time a little bit post-reservation. In addition, her response times for any inquiries were always quick both before our reservation time and during our time there. I believe I will be returning to this location some time in the future!

Team was very helpful and supportive in helping us get the things we needed for the shoot. Venue could have been a little cleaner but overall was perfect for what we needed. We were able to find some things left behind to really make it feel like an open bank.

About Staten Island

Staten Island is considered to be one of the five boroughs of New York City.

Staten Island takes pride of place as one of the first 12 counties in the state of New York. In 1898, the borough became one with the larger metropolitan area known as New York City.

Pros and Cons of Filming in Staten Island

Staten Island is a beautiful spot with much to commend it as a great place for filming a movie, TV show, documentary, or commercial. Still, there are positives and negatives to selecting this borough as the spot for your film set.

Advantages

  • Ferry service
    Taking the ferry to Staten Island is truly an invigorating experience. Free of charge to travelers, the Staten Island ferry has an on-site bar and canteen.

  • Incredible pizza
    Staten Island is well-renowned for its incredible New York-style pizza pies. Be sure to grab a slice at Lee’s Tavern when visiting this borough; you’ll be glad you did.

  • Beautiful waterways
    Often referred to as “kills,” the common Dutch term for creek, there are many stunning waterways in Staten Island, offering many places to swim and to fish.

Disadvantages

  • Lots of deer
    It’s not just the Staten Island residents that love the natural space and forest found here. There is a large concentration of deer in the area, meaning travel on roads after dark can be dangerous, particularly during hunting season.

  • Heavy traffic
    As a borough of NYC, it’s not surprising that the traffic is bad even in Staten Island. It is particularly bad during the pre-work commute and school drop-offs and pick-ups.

  • Frequent tolls
    One thing native Staten Islanders complain about more than the traffic is the tolls. Unfortunately, you’re required to pay them whether you live here or visit though there is somewhat of a price break for locals.
