Roosevelt Island is that long, skinny piece of real estate on the East River between Manhattan and Queens. With green streets and broad demographics, Roosevelt Island has a distinctly residential feel. Many UN employees who work across the river in Manhattan call the nabe home and while there isn't a bustling downtown, there are a few bars and restaurants on the island that locals faithfully frequent. Roosevelt Island can be accessed by the F train and the Roosevelt Island Tram.
In some ways Roosevelt Island feels like NYC, considering the high buildings and views on the river reminding you that Manhattan is never too far. But in other ways, you’ll find that Roosevelt Island is its own nest, a community all its own.
The tram is a great way to travel to Roosevelt Island, and the views are gorgeous from up there – just not if you’re afraid of heights!
There are plenty of green patches on which to play and relax on the island, but much of it is privately owned, so make sure to keep that in mind.
Also, there isn’t much shopping to be done, so remember – whatever you need is just a tram ride away in NYC’s midtown.
