Its essentially an eclectic, random bunch of stuff in a semi expensive restaurant in America. Its not French, not Italian, Russian? Nyet. New American is a menu that can not be categorized. The Richmond bills itself as the default New American which begs the question WTF is New American anyway? And what ever happened to old American? Did we miss it? Its very simple actually. The menu and location on Bay Street near other island greats like Lakruwana and Vida gives it a certain ‘Je ne sais quoi’ if you will. So considering the above, its not so far fetched to consider The Richmond one of the island’s best. But last time I checked this is an equal borough opportunity blog. Coincidentally 1 is also the percentage of my readers that will make the trek to the island for food (or live there). But Sri Lankan is still the correct answer if we are talking about reasons to come to the island for food.

And 1 will mention Sri Lankan, followed by ding ding ding.

10 will say nothing, as in time will expire until they can come up with something. Ask 100 Staten Islanders what is good to eat on the island and the answers will be roughly as follows: 50 will say pizza.
