NEREphotographyAgosto 11, 2011A great trip for any photographer, check out the old buildings and Yankee Pier on the back side of the Island. Bring a bike or rent one for ease of travel around the Island. @nerephotography
Alison CurtinSetembro 2, 2016NYC's best idea-this National & Public Park space partnership. Have loved visiting over the past 6 or 7 years watching it grow and develop.
GadlingJunho 19, 2010Beat the heat of the city by escaping to this island with epic views of Manhattan & the Statue of Liberty. Gorgeous old building dot the island. The West Indian food cart is amazing. -mb
Take a tour with a National Park Ranger every Friday, Saturday or Sunday @ 11:25, 1:25 or 3:25 to learn the history of this amazing and beautiful place.

Stuart BridgettJunho 7, 2014Ferry from the end of Atlantic Ave in Brooklyn is no longer free, but is only $2 for a return trip. Only two sailings a day are free- 11am and 11:30am.
Ariane van DievoetJunho 3, 2014Awesome getaway from the crazyness of the city. Free ferry from governor Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Daniel BarnettAgosto 28, 2015Wonderful colonial style buildings, museums, and public parks. Great biking.
Michael CalleiaJulho 13, 2013Heads up, mixed uses bike and pedestrian paths = danger. I was almost hit by a ranger going fast and using people as pylons.
Leah LabrecqueAgosto 29, 2014Wear sunblock and bring a water bottle. Luscious mulberry tree in meadow near the traffic light sculpture, ripe in mid-late July.
HashtagNYUAgosto 17, 2016They hold tons of events there all summer long! http://hashtagnyu.tumblr.com/post/146072079746/9-islands-beyond-manhattan-you-should-explore- Whomever decided that installing the art piece with the bell and a rope to ring it with needs to be tarred and feathered. It ruins the whole idea of a peaceful time with the constant noise.
RazorfishSetembro 20, 2011A little getaway from the City where the grass in greener, the air is fresher, the trees outnumber the people, and the ferry is free.
Michael BelluardoJulho 17, 2015Don't even remember that I was in NYC. Awesome place to hang and bring a picnic

Marq and Chriselle's Super Awesome WeddingNovembro 15, 2011This became a venue we frequented a lot in summer '11 taking romantic ferry rides to Gov's Island and taking the ferry back feeling really dirty, smelly, hungry and tired from the concert.
D'Agostino SupermarketsJaneiro 31, 2012After the American Revolution, the U.S. Army set up camp on the island in fear of another British invasion. The U.S. Army has since been there for the past 200 years. Talk about setting up camp!

Great place to briefly escape the crazy city. Bring along a picnic lunch for a lazy Sunday afternoon.
AndreaMaio 29, 2011awesome place outside of city. Bike ride for 2 hrs is $30 but worth the river view. Really unique spot.
Craig HSetembro 14, 2014If you don't like being constantly attacked by wasps (the bugs) don't come. This every corner of the island - makes it impossible to relax.
