With its iconic red tram, expansive views, and gorgeous natural setting, this oasis nestled in the East River feels like a retreat from the city, while still being just a quick jump back to all New York's attractions.
On Roosevelt Island, everything you need is right out the front door, whether you want to pop into the darling neighborhood ice cream parlor or your cleaners or grab something from Duane Reade.
Parks & Surroundings
Amazingly, two-thirds of Roosevelt Island's perimeter is made up of parks and greenspace, which brings breathtaking views with daily walks well within reach.
Dining & Entertainment
On the island, you can visit the dedicated arts association before popping home to order your favorite local takeout, have a picnic delivered to the park (yes, they do that), or explore the racket club.
