This town loves sports.  Gifford Lane has Sports Heroes and Legends memorabliia shop and the cozy talk of the town Tavern.  A sports bar ieth loyalties tendng toward the Yankees.  Its slogan is "meet friends, make friends."  The town is home to the Great Kills Little League, one of eight on Staten Island.

Strolling the streets near the station you of course come across at least one of the ubiquitous "bagel & deli" spots which are found at almost every commercial corner.
