Governor's Island!!! FREE ferry ride (or should I say fairy ride) from Brooklyn and Manhattan. We had a wonderful day, listening to old time Jazz, watching baseball as it was playing in 1864, sleeping on a spacious lawn, watching women dance in golden capes and feathered tiaras, watching others dance as I can only imagine my parents once danced. It was as if we'd traveled a thousand miles and a hundred years away. It's as if I fell asleep on the lawn which I did and woke up in bingo another century. If you haven't been and you're a New York, then you just gotta go!
