It's something nobody wants to admit but the best season in New York is summertime. Sure, when it's 105 degress in the shade all you wish for is a pool... but there are so many things to do in NYC in summer and fewer people to do them. Since I love seeing new places in the city I sometimes just enjoy being a tourist and discovering parts of the city I haven't seen yet.
This time I explored Roosevelt Island which is the antithesis to Midtown's hustle and bustle. I couldn't believe how quiet it was, so relaxing that I had the feeling I was miles away from the city. The best thing about my trip was the way to get to this special island - I had to take the tramway over the East River which provided me with a stunning view of the city streets, the river and the bridge. Hope you will enjoy the scenery as much as I did!
