Best Day Trip in New York City

I have a treat for you! There is nowhere in the city where you can get this view of Manhattan, enjoy a cold draft and wiggle your toes in the sand. Visit Governor's Island this weekend.

To get there, take the 4 subway line to Bowling Green and walk toward the Staten Island Ferry. The ferry to Governor's it to the left. The boats leave every half hour on the hour and it's free and open to the public.

This Saturday the Island is hosting a Beer Garden Party with over 300 micro breweries from around the country. There will be live music and it all starts at 3:00. Don't miss this sunset!

Peter G. Pereira Art Installation

This is the "Tress of Life" art installation by artist Peter G. Pereira. He wraps the trees to tell their story, the time they have been here, and reveals their soul with his lines. This was a special exhibit through the Figment organization. I highly recommend that you take a trip to the island. Just go to the Bowling Green subway and walk to the ferry. It's all free and open to the public a great NYC getaway!!!
