Monica CullenJuly 2, 2015Free movie night in the summer, not nearly as crowded as the other free movie events in NYC. And fewer bugs at night because of the breeze off the water!
Great for frieze since they have a very efficient bus service from Guggenheim to Randall's Island

Destiny CortezOctober 26, 2015It wasn't worth the money. The costumes were great and so were the actors but they could have done a better job. It was NOT scary and you will be disappointed. (Haunted Hayride)

Omer ZachOctober 15, 2015Nice island. Great to run around if you want to extend a run along the East River.
Electric Zoo festival is the best event held here.

Tom WolfsteinJuly 25, 2015Come run the Urban Mudder when it's on. Try not to do it during the hottest part of the day.
HelenAugust 31, 2013Go the first day for EZoo, less crazy crowds and the porter potties are the cleanest they'll be all weekend. duh.
patricia hanniganJuly 12, 2009A multi-faceted golf center just minutes from midtown. They've got a great two tiered driving range and a putting area plus mini golf and batting cadges.
