Staten Island University Hospital Community Park — Attraction in New York

This review is for the Journey to the East Winter Lantern Festival.

The lanterns were super cool to see up close, especially the more fantastical ones. I loved learning more about Chinese mythology and ogling at how the lights brought these creatures dramatically to life. Yes, I was that guy holding up the line.

I do wish that the grounds was better laid out. It just seemed thematically haphazard. For example, not sure why one of the four cardinal guardians was separated from the other three. Also, parts of the designated path were needlessly restrictive. There was no reason for me to nudge 5 year-old Jesse out of the way just to get my shot. Okay, that didn’t happen, but I do think there was a missed opportunity here to make the place more festive and promote more learning and fun.

Because seriously, some of these lanterns are impressive. I’ll let the pics speak for themselves. Personal favs: the Fuzhu (deer with four horns), the Vermillion (fire) Bird, and Wen Yao (winged...

This is a great thing to come check out if you're on your way home from work or if you got a free night coming down to the ballpark and...

My experience at this ballpark was absolutely horrendous. This is not an exaggeration. The lines at the concessions were absolutely terrible. People I sat with couldn't enjoy the game until the 6th inning because they were on line waiting for food all that time. They ran out of so many items and even the vending machines ran out of items. The staff were so unapologetic and very rude that people actually took issue with them running out of food. It's like they absolutely could not accommodate a near capacity crowd. And I do mean near capacity as the ballpark was not full at all. I really do hope that things improve drastically. I'm sorry to have written a...
