Last week, the City Room Blog ran a pho­to of Gov­er­nors Island along­side a post ask­ing New York­ers where they go to find qui­et. What are your favorite places on (and off) Gov­er­nors Island to find qui­et? Tweet, face­book, com­ment below, or head over to the New York Times to leave your thoughts. The Times will pub­lish a curat­ed selec­tion of read­er spots lat­er in the sea­son. Right now things are pret­ty noisy on the Island as we progress towards fin­ish­ing the first phase of con­struc­tion on the Gov­er­nors Island Park and Pub­lic Space Mas­ter Plan. When com­plet­ed there will be 30 acres of new park­land open to the public.
