So nice to see some good ol NYC tourist pics after such a lull.

Fantastic. What great weather you had.

Fantastic tour!

Great pics from the Roosevelt Island Tram and the island itself.
There are two really cool attractions on Roosevelt Island - the Cornell Tech campus, which is basically a campus of starchitect-designed structures, and the FDR Memorial, which is spectacular. If people are wondering about the riverfront construction, they're building a promenade suspended over the East River from the United Nations to the Upper East Side. This will largely complete a full walkway/bikeway around Manhattan's waterfront perimeter (there's one more section in Upper Manhattan that also has a suspended promenade u/c). |
^It's hard to pick a favorite place we checked out but Roosevelt Island and the tram ride to/from was soooo awesome. For the price of a Metrocard ride you get treated to those amazing views and taken to what felt like a best-kept secret spot (for now).
The boardwalk along the river wasn't 100% completed but almost - obviously didn't deter us. We weren't sure what all might be available as far as amenities but sure enough the campus cafe' was open and (more importantly to us) Grannie Annie's was open with a modest but decent selection of beers on tap. I definitely see Roosevelt Island getting to be a lot more popular in the near future. |
The clouds were so great as a backdrop!

Wonderful!
