Amol U. • May 31, 2019Really cool way to kill a few hours hanging out or relaxing. A quiet, beautiful space in the heart of the city.
Norman E. • August 31, 2011Gloriously devoid of tourists. Peaceful, tranquil, a still undiscovered gem with million dollar views.
DigiMix Web Design & Development NYC • February 23, 20121856-1950 condemned smallpox hospital designed by notable St Patricks Cathedral architect James Renwick. Preserved Gothic structure is surreal in its decay, particularly at night when it's lit up.
Untapped Cities • July 15, 2013Mysteriously, two asylum patients are credited with building the Blackwell (now Roosevelt) Island Lighthouse--John McCarthy and Thomas Maxey. It is unclear whether either of them even existed!
Deborah D. • March 17, 2011The Kiosk just received an award for its restoration. Stop by Thursday through Sunday 12-5 p.m. to get the newly designed island map.
Norman E. • August 17, 2014Christened "Eleanor's Pier" in the summer of 2014, the newly refurbished pier is a delightful hangout for RI residents and a quick tram or train ride for visitors. Sit. relax and enjoy the view!

Norman E. • November 20, 2012Grab a latte or hot chocolate from Starbucks or The Trellis and cuddle up on the steps and watch the boats sail up and down the river. #RI
Mark H. • February 4, 2018Cool historical site within a super beautiful park. Remember to read the plaque.
L. T. • June 9, 2015A beautiful, wide-open field with fabulous views. Go for a picnic and bring your blanket and camera!
Jessie C. • September 20, 2011It is about a 10-minute walk from the tram and subway. Take Main St. for a slightly faster trip or walk along the East River for the views.
