    A 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

    NYC's best idea-this National & Public Park space partnership. Have loved visiting over the past 6 or 7 years watching it grow and develop.

    Ferry 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.

    Heads up, mixed uses bike and pedestrian paths = danger. I was almost hit by a ranger going fast and using people as pylons.

    Wear sunblock and bring a water bottle. Luscious mulberry tree in meadow near the traffic light sculpture, ripe in mid-late July.

    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.

    A little getaway from the City where the grass in greener, the air is fresher, the trees outnumber the people, and the ferry is free.

    This 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.

    After 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!

    If 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.
