"A 25-minute boat ride might sound inconvenient, but on a weekday when you don't have much else going on, it's just the sort of thing you might be looking for. Lakruwana is a Sri Lankan place near the water on the eastern edge of Staten Island. When you get here, you'll see a lot of hanging masks and elephant statues, and you should order the vegetable lamprais wrapped in banana leaves and the heart-shaped pile of godamba roti with garlic and green chilis. Remember, the ferry costs zero dollars." - Bryan Kim, Kenny Yang, Hannah Albertine
