  2. One of my favorite videos that you've done, as I've never watched any explorations of Roosevelt Island until now. I'm sorry that I didn't visit it during my NY trips but will absolutely do so when I return. As soon as I saw the tram I flashbacked to watching the Sylvester Stallone thriller "Night Hawks" as a kid, as the tram is incorporated into one of the movie's action scenes.

  5. Cute video and very insightful about the island, but to hear that guy call this place “heaven on earth” screams deaftone american delusion. Tell us you haven’t touched grass outside of the US without telling us you haven’t touched grass outside the US.

  6. Thank you John , what a treat I would love to visit and thanks to you I got a nice long glimpse of it, how do cars get over by ferry? Can they come and go?? Best to you and your family

  7. How fantastic is Roosevelt Island….i had no idea. It’s like an oasis in the middle of all the hustle and bustle. Next time I’m in NYC, it’s a must visit. I always love your co hosts, so passionate about their home areas. Love it ❤❤

  8. I loved taking the tram across from Manhattan. The views up and down the promenades of New York city from above are breathtaking.

    I love your channel – you seem like a grounded human being who is honest and servant hearted. This is why I want to live in NYC – sure the buildings are amazing – incredible – and the arts – but what I want to do is meet people who are seeking to live honourable lives.

    Thanks for your content.

  13. I am so blessed to have discovered this island in 2019 and every visit to New York I make the air tram there at least once. It's a gem. In June absolutely beautiful. Cannot imagine what it is like in fall. Have yet to see it in a fall month.

  16. Roosevelt Island and Governor's Island seem like the places to be for respite from Manhattan, Bronx, or long island boroughs!

    Staten island gives off a more typically American suburban vibe than the others but I'd love to see some videos going beyond my simplistic view of it

  19. We went to Roosevelt Island with the tramway but left it with the Astoria ferry down to financial district. Nice trip. Unfortunately the weather wasn't as good. But loved the quietness there
