The snow has mostly melted, the air is warmer and the Urban Assembly New York Harbor School students are enjoying their outdoor basketball court. You can even more easily imagine the Island with thousands of visitors, bicycles and picnickers. Earlier this week, The New York Times took a walk around the Island and noticed the first signs of spring. Check out their great slideshow with images of the Island.
