We've never thought of venturing to Staten Island for any type of relaxing behavior, but when considering it hosts NYC's only historic village, we may change our minds. Stroll through the village and experience what life was like in the 17th century - walk by the oldest schoolhouse in America, the Voorlezer House, learn the art of soap making, and watch as a carpenter carves wood. You can even stay overnight with a group of friends if you want the full immersive experience.
