Gov­er­nors Island is one of great out­door spots’ in New York City

The Asso­ci­at­ed Press has picked Gov­er­nors Island as one of five great out­door spots in New York City. They par­tic­u­lar­ly loved the new Water Taxi Beach at Gov­er­nors Island, as well as our five miles of car-free bik­ing. In addi­tion to all these great fea­tures, we also have ham­mocks to swing in, Adiron­dack chairs to lounge in, acres of green space on which you can run, play, pic­nic and fly kites, and of course, some of the best views around.
