The Governor's Island is very small, I don't know if it is an artificial island. We saw it when we visited the Statue of Liberty, and we didn't pay special attention. We can visit it together when we take a boat tour.
Governor Island is located on the seaside in the corner of Manhattan. The island is not big. The greenery here is particularly good. If you take Liberty Island, you can play these small islands as a line. There are also boats that can go to the island.
If you come to New York, you must punch in the Statue of Liberty. If you want to see the goddess up close, most tourists choose to take the cruise ship Free Island to see. It takes a long queue (even if you book a ferry ticket online). Go to liberty island, it is not a dream to queue for two hours on holidays. ✌ Ferry tickets and tour coupons cost 170 yuan left and right. But, to be honest, if you just want to see the whole picture of the goddess, you don't need close-ups, and you don't need to know more historical stories, then it is enough to come to Governor's Island ❗️❗️ Detailed address :Governors Island, New York, NY 10004⏰ Business hours: Monday ~ Thursday 10:00-18:00 Friday, Saturday 10:00-22:00 (late night until September 1) Sunday 10:00-18:00 Traffic Raiders: Just take the New York City Metro N/R, get off at Whitehall Street and get off at the southernmost ferry area of Lower Manhattan. The ferry usually leaves at half-time, and the return journey is also. Featured recommendation: 1⃣ Very cost-effective, free on the island, round-trip ferry for only $3, you can enjoy a free tour, the island has a wide view, overlooking the panoramic view of the Statue of Liberty and Manhattan, you can have picnics, camping, and rent bicycles around the island 2⃣ Governor Island was once a US military The base stands with many old red brick buildings. There are a lot of flowers and plants planted. When the spring flowers are blooming, come here to take pictures. There are two or three restaurants on the pier on the island. Under the colorful umbrella, the sea breeze is blowing. Look at the Manhattan complex. It is very pleasant. Because I went too early, the restaurant selling oysters did not open, only a Mexican taco store just opened, so I blinded a mexico burger and a bottle of soda in the past. Oops, it was super delicious. The burger looked ugly. It was sputum. I bit the fragrant and juicy beef. Lei, I can’t help but eat ❗️ and drink another soda in one breath. I’m satisfied with the practical tips: 1⃣ Wear light shoes.~ If you walk around the island, you are expected to look eight or nine kilometers. 2⃣ There are many beverage vending machines on the island, but there is very little mineral water. Almost all carbonated drinks suggest that you have control over calorie intake. 3⃣ The ecological environment on the island is better, so there will be bees (see the last picture, there is a bee attracted by my soda), flies and the most hated mosquitoes, try to spray mosquito repellent water. Don't ask me how I know, I won't show you the bag on your leg
Governor's Island is roughly south of Manhattan Island and can be reached by ferry in summer and autumn. A ferry ride from the Battery Maritime Building pier in Manhattan to Governor's Island costs only $2 for round trip tickets. If you look at it from the map, Governor Island looks like an ice cream, so I gave it a nickname called Ice Cream Island myself. There are not many inhabitants on the island, but everyone has a good family. Many people travel to and from Manhattan on their own speedboats every day. The environment on the island is very good and suitable for leisure activities.
Governors Island, accessible by free ferry from Manhattan. There are bike rental places and restaurants on Governor's Island, which are ideal for weekend outings. In summer, parties are often held on Governor's Island, and carnival is also a way to relax.
From the golf-cart pick-up from the ferry to breakfast in bed in the morning no detail was overlooked during my collective retreat get away to Governors Island!
