Governor's Island

This is the building you enter to catch the Governor's Island Ferry. It's located in the southern tip of Manhattan. My family and I took the 10 minute ferry ride with hundreds of others, many on their bikes, this summer. Governor's Island is a great place to enjoy grassy, rolling hills and learn a little history. There are many activities offered through the warm months that include art fairs and such. Next time I go, I'll take advantage of the bike rental. I highly recommend doing this, plus the ferry's free.
