So I had the interesting pleasure of taking a bunch of people who hadn't been to Roosevelt Island there.
People always seem to be struck by how different it is. It's a very disorienting experience to come out of a subway onto a small strip of an island parallel to Manhattan. Roosevelt Island is of course, right by the water, and it has some really lovely views. We discussed how as we went farther north and away from the tram and train station, the island became less nice. You could practically see the sliding scale of wealth descending the farther away from the transportation we were.

Yep, I was pretty surprised when we arrived to Roosevelt Island because it appeared to me as a suburban side of New York city. Once we walked out of the train station we can see the beautiful water.
