I’ve been considering visiting Staten Island for the holidays (visiting family), but wasn’t sure of the hobby scene? Any and all advice is greatly appreciated

I hope you do visit Staten Island I would love to meet you.

I don’t think SI has ever had a high end  provider visit and I can’t recall even a mid range independent in call ad being posted at SI. Everything is still very word of mouth, UTR or borderline fast house out here. I don’t mean to discourage you, maybe it’s just a case of someone needing to be the first pioneer but this is the current and historic state of the hobby on SI... I guess if you’re already here, then it doesn’t hurt to try? I can only think of one genuine hotel that exists as well lol
