This residential island is located between Manhattan and Queens and it’s a beautiful place – and it’s a good to escape from Manhattan. Many people relate Roosevelt Island with the Roosevelt Tramway – that makes the path between Manhattan and the small island. There is also a subway line to get here – F – but using the Tramway is much more beautiful and fun.

TIP: Use your Metrocard to take the Tramway. Also, there is the RIOC Red Bus, which is free and makes stops throughout the island.
