点评:I'm a born and bred New Yorker but I've never been to Roosevelt Island. I know! How? My friends offered to show me around.
This was a great way to spend a beautiful Sunday. It was sunny with clear blue skies, and most of the cherry blossoms were blooming.
We took a comfortable stroll on the riverfront promenade, which was crowded with families, picnickers, and tons of people taking selfies.
As you walk along the promenade, you'll come across the dilapidated ruins of the Smallpox Memorial Hospital before arriving at the 14-acre Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park in the south all the way up to the northern tip.
Keep walking and you'll see the Roosevelt Island Lighthouse and the amazing statues commemorating the ground-breaking work by American journalist, Nellie Bly.
Other than the promenade, there's not much to see or do. There are plenty of parks for recreational activities and playgrounds for little ones.
There are no restaurants or delis, besides a few Chinese takeout places and a Duane Reade. I recommend bringing food or eating first before you come.
I really enjoyed the walk, and it wasn't that crowded. I can imagine how busy and crowded the island will be when summer officially arrives.
翻译:我是一个土生土长的纽约人,但我从未去过罗斯福岛。我知道!怎么知道的?我的朋友主动提出带我四处逛逛。
这是度过美好周日的好方法。天气晴朗,天空湛蓝,大部分樱花都盛开了。
我们在河滨长廊上悠闲地散步,那里挤满了家庭、野餐者和许多自拍的人。
沿着长廊行走,你会看到天花纪念医院的破旧废墟,然后到达南边占地 14 英亩的富兰克林·罗斯福四大自由公园,一直到北端。
继续走,你会看到罗斯福岛灯塔和纪念美国记者 Nellie Bly 开创性工作的令人惊叹的雕像。
除了长廊外,没有什么可看或可做的。这里有很多公园可供孩子们进行娱乐活动,还有游乐场。
除了几家中餐外卖店和一家 Duane Reade 外,这里没有餐厅或熟食店。我建议你带些食物或先吃完饭再来。
我真的很享受这次散步,而且人也不多。我可以想象夏天正式到来时岛上会有多么繁忙和拥挤。
