Like sleeping late?  Like Tibetan art?  Like a ride with a hill or two?  This is the ride for you!  Challenge yourself on Lighthouse Hill - one of the hardest climbs in New York City.  It is not too long, but it is steep.  Once at the top, there are some wonderful sights to see.  We will be visiting the Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art [and have arranged half price admission - $3].  We will check out a lighthouse - in the middle of the island.  And, we will see Crimson Beach - the only house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in NYC.  All this and much more, including the Dongan Hills mansion area.  Lunch will be at Pho Mac, a delicious Vietnamese restaurant.  At the end of the ride, celebrate with us at Liedy's - a great dive bar - and the oldest family owned bar on Staten island. [About a mile from the ferry].  Join us as we explore The Forgotten Borough

Bring:  Admission for the museum, snacks, water, lock, tubes and some love for Staten Island.

NOTE - WE WILL ALSO BE LEADING A GROUP FROM THE 5BBC TABLE AT SUMMER STREETS TO THE FERRY.  THE GROUP WILL LEAVE THE TABLE AT 10:00 SHARP.  WE WILL BE ON THE 11:00 FERRY.  IF YOU ARE MEETING US AT THE SI FERRY TERMINAL IN MANHATTAN - PLEASE BE THERE AT 10:45.
