Roosevelt Island

Whether you take the air tram or the ferry to Roosevelt Island, getting there is half the fun. With a history of asylums and prisons, there is plenty to check out on the two miles that make up the island. Four Freedoms Park is a memorial dedicated to FDR at the southern tip of the island with beautiful views. The ruin from 1856 is the former Smallpox Hospital that now is home to many, many cats is also worth admiring. End the day with a tasty cocktail at the rooftop bar Panorama Room at the Graduate Hotel.
