ROOSEVELT ISLAND TRAM
Roosvelt Island aerial tramway offering a magnificent view over the East River from the cab.
Inaugurated in 1976, the Roosevelt Island aerial tramway is a cable car that takes you from 59th Street to Roosevelt Island in 5 minutes. The view from the cabin, over the East River, is magnificent. There's not much to do on the island, other than enjoy the view over Manhattan (especially in spring, during the Japanese cherry blossom season) and lounge in Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park. Recently, the cable car has become a popular tourist attraction, much to the dismay of the locals who use it on a daily basis.

On survole les routes, ponts, East River, on frôle les buildings, on se prend pour Icare.
Petite balade possible sur l'île et retour à Manhattan par le Tramway ou possibilité de prendre le métro pour rejoindre Queens.
Vraiment un bon moment original à peu de frais.
Essayez d'arriver tôt pour être bien placé à l'avant de la cabine pour prendre vos photos.
