Governors Island is already one of New Yorker’s favorite staycation destinations. The island reports more than 75% of visitors hail from our five boroughs. But how much do New Yorkers know about this pastoral getaway, just an 8 minute ferry ride from Manhattan’s southern tip? Take a 90-minute bike tour and learn all about the key role the island has played from New Amsterdam to Revolutionary War to the east coast HQ of the Coast Guard. All day bike rental included so you can stick and enjoy this cycler’s paradise, where the drives are wide and free of cars. May I suggest a climb through the hills, a cuddle in hammock grove and a Chardonnay and seafood at the Oyster Bar? Beneath the canopy of 100 year old London Plane trees, you’ll feel 100 miles from the city, but still be home by bedtime.
