Anyone interested in knowing more about Staten Island than the ferry won't want to miss A WALK AROUND STATEN ISLAND WITH DAVID HARTMAN AND BARRY LEWIS, a surprise-filled special premiering Monday, December 3 at 9:30 p.m. In A WALK AROUND STATEN ISLAND, Hartman and Lewis explore 300 years of history, Asian arts, mansions, beaches, personalities, hidden gems, and the best local pizza.

Viewers will discover a borough that won't soon be forgotten. The Website is now online at http://www.thirteen.org/statenisland.
