Honestly I had never heard of Governors Island but as Blas dropped me off at my hotel(yep no air bnb the rest of this trip at least), I had some time to burn until meeting up with Leslie at 3 so I bought the $3 round trip ferry ticket and checked out the island. Wow. What a cool place. Yes there were tourists however it appeared that some locals were there with their families just enjoying the fields and beautiful weather. Unreal views of lower Manhattan as well. They seem to be slowly improving the island and I really liked that it didn't feel terribly touristy. Tons for kids to do with multiple playgrounds. Ice skating rink too. Really cool spot.
Oh and they're building what appears to be a Glampground. All of the tents open up to a view of lower Manhattan.
