DESCRIPTION
In this episode of NYC Local Legends, longtime Staten Islander Jaclyn Tacoronte shows us what's good with Stapleton, a vibrant and diverse Staten Island neighborhood with a deep history.

As Jaclyn walks us around Stapleton, we get a taste of soul food from the descendant of the first free Black man on Staten Island at Shaw-Naé's House; an immersive cultural experience and delicious meal at Lakruwana, a Sri Lankan restaurant; and a well-crafted cocktail at award-winning bar The Coupe.
