Custom greeting cards appeal to Staten Island pride at the Tottenville Food Mart on Amboy Road.  The neighborhood is hardly where you would expect a 24-hour store that, according to its 20-something manager, a third-generation Tottenviller herself, is busiest from 11pm to 2 am.

Walking a few blocks west, along well-kept residential streets, brings you to the Railway.  The Atlantic Station platform is so short that only the last car in both directions will open.
