The New York Wheel will be in sight from St. Mark’s inn. St Marks Inn
Construction is under way at the site of a $500 million Ferris wheel project along the Staten Island waterfront.
The Staten Island Advance says the 630-foot-tall observation wheel is slated to open for business in 2017.
Up to 1,400 passengers at a time will view the scenery of New York City, New Jersey and beyond during a slow-moving, 38-minute ride.
The New York Wheel project was approved by the city in 2013.
In 2017, you will be able to walk down the street from St Marks Inn, go to dinner, ride the New York Wheel, catch a Staten Island Yankees game and walk back. Sounds like a great evening
