NYC: Roosevelt Island


We took an ariel tram to get over to Roosevelt Island. It is delightful--it is free when you transfer from the subway and reminds me of the gondola we took at Squaw Valley when we got engaged. There are some nice views of the city and the bridges as you ride.




Here's the tram:


And here's from walking around the island:





We passed this great old (apartment?) building that is now being turned into a hospital. I would say that this is Streamline Modern architecture, huh Hopkins?

I bet Francisco took this one.
Probably this one, too.
