All Aboard the Roosevelt Island Tram
We all know about the great deal and great views of NYC involved in riding the Staten Island ferry, but for something different, consider the Roosevelt Island Tram. The trip is short (only 4-minutes) but the views are spectacular and the trip costs the same as the subway: $1.50. Roosevelt Island is a serene space compared to the madness of midtown Manhattan. There is a bus that meets the tram and circles the residential area, but you can also walk around to check out the island's 5 parks and 6 landmarked buildings, including the Blackwell House (1796), the Octagon Tower(1839), and a gothic-style lighthouse on the northern end. The Tram Plaza is at 59th St. and 2nd Avenue.
