Raised in queens my whole life this is news to me too. In Long Island definitely and driving the HH to westchester you’ll see signs warning of deers crossing. I’ve never been to Staten Island (why would I do that to myself)

Hey- it’s not a bad place. Nicer than being crammed on top of people and I enjoyed easy access to Manhattan my whole life. The hate for Staten Island is just unnecessary. Anyway, I live here, and I have seen deer in the parks and Greenbelt. I see a few a year, so they are fairly common.
