St. George

ABOUT THE COMMUNITY

St. George sits on the northeast corner of Staten Island, and surrounds the ferry terminal.  As the Island’s civic and transportation hub, it contains courthouses and municipal offices that serve as its centerpieces and hosts over 70,000 passengers daily on the Staten Island ferry.  The neighborhood has become a focal point for investment and development due to its scenic views of lower Manhattan and ease of travel.

Connected to the rest of Downtown Staten Island by the Bay Street corridor, St. George offers an array of cultural and entertainment options for visitors, including the Staten Island Ferryhawks, the St. George Theatre, and the National Lighthouse Museum.  The Empire Outlets offers prime retail options, eateries, and open space, just a short walk away from the ferry.

With a rich history going back hundreds of years, St. George is known for its variety of well-kept architectural styles including Victorian, Tudor, and Art Deco, and its topography that offers sweeping views of New York Harbor.

Glen Mancuso

Much of the talk about St. George these days revolves around all the new development at the Ferry terminal and beyond.  But the neighborhood has a rich history of merchants and businesses with deep roots in the community.  A great example of that is Glen Mancuso, who recently celebrated the 20-year anniversary of his Allstate Insurance office on Bay Street in St. George.  Glen has seen the area go through many changes, and he remains firmly committed to it.  Aside from his professional accomplishments, which include receiving the prestigious Louis R. Miller Business Leadership Award, he has devoted many volunteer hours to supporting the community by, among other things, serving on the Board of Directors of the National Lighthouse Museum, serving as the emcee of the annual Borough Hall holiday tree lighting event, and helping coordinate a neighborhood restaurant crawl.  Congratulations to Glen on his milestone anniversary and best wishes for many more!
