Speckling the shimmering expanse of the St. Lawrence River are hundreds of picturesque isles known as the Thousand Islands, a superb setting for leisurely boat sight-seeing cruises out to historic atrractions or a longer stay in a local cottage.
Get away from the maddening crowds wandering peaceful paths in the Staten Island Botanical Garden, where bountiful blossoms and carefully groomed grounds are the theme. Meander past peonies, placid ponds and seek out the Secret Garden for a quiet interlude as part of your tour. A small fee is charged for admission to the New York Chinese Scholar's Garden, a restful place of pines and pavilions that is designed to encourage thoughtful meditation, Chinese style.
