Governor's Island, NY and a Jazz Age Lawn Party
via flickr.com
Checked out Governor's Island over the weekend. It's a free ferry ride - just next to the Staten Island Ferry. Much more relaxing than central park. Probably the shortest distance you can go to mentally leave New York City.
Check out the: Governor's island blog or Governor's island website for how to get there and what to expect.
The flickr set above is a great collection of shots and old information about governor's island.
I was going there for a jazz age lawn party. Here are someone's pictures of the jazz age lawn party
