Governor's Island

Absolutely fantastic spot! The views of the skyline and the State of Liberty are amazing and it's the coolest place! You can only go on weekends though (fri-sun) so be sure to plan your itinerary. Get there early and you can snaffle a hammock!!

Statue of Liberty

We didn't book our tickets in advance so we had no choice but to just look up and the great lady, but it was really cool just to be there. If you want to see the views you'll have to be organised so make sure you book ahead!

Roosevelt Island

My parents are dedicated architecture lovers and I'm always getting dragged to dull places to look at the outside of things, but I really enjoyed Roosevelt Island and its traffic free roads. I even got into the architecture vibe a bit.

Ellis Island

posted by SuzyQ on 28 July 2009 at 05:57

Visiting Ellis Island is a humbling experience, as this is a museum which recreates the exact portal through which most immigrants came to the United States in the late 1800s to mid-1900s. Ellis Island has been beautifully restored and provides moving exhibits about the journey that Europeans took to enter the United States and make their way in the new land. This is a somber museum that provides thoughtful discussion to anyone who has ancestors who came to the United States through this awe-inspiring building. A highly recommended visit, which also provides great views of New York City, so you get more bang for your buck.
