Roosevelt Island

Take the Roosevelt Island Tramway over the East River for a special point of view on the City. When shutting to the general population, today Roosevelt Island is home to a private group and ious parks and points of interest. At the island's southern end, the Louis Kahn– outlined Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park offers open programming and family-accommodating occasions.

Likewise in the verifiable vein: the Renwick Ruin, a previous smallpox healing center; the Octagon tower, the remainders of a crazy refuge; and, on the northern tip, a nineteenth-century beacon mooring a recreation center from where guests can get wide-point perspectives of NYC.
