Brendan BenjaminApril 15, 2017Great scenic view of Manhattan skyline. Checkout the visitor center at Roosevelt Island Tram station and then go for a walk down main street and visit the local shops.
If you are visiting with a large group, taking the tram from Manhattan and the F train back to the city OR visa versa gets you a free transfer so you only pay once for a roundtrip- Check out Riverwalk Bar & Grill at 425 Main Street (2 blocks North of the tram station) when you visit Roosevelt Island. Coffee, sandwiches, burgers & cocktails. Outdoor patio too!
ℳ𝒶𝓎♍December 30, 2019Such a breath of fresh air away from the city's hustle and bustle. You can use your metrocard and pay for the trip like a regular subway. If you're looking for a new thing to do in NYC, take this trip
Max EingornOctober 27, 2014On a bright clear day there's no sight more beautiful than the east river from the tram. All for the price of a metrocard swipe!
Carlton W.December 2, 2010The new tram is amazing!! Faster, smoother, and roomier than the old tram and the views are still spectacular!
Maria TarazonaFebruary 19, 2017Open space. Don't forget to explore outside. You can go side to side to the island in less than one minute walk
New York HabitatMay 30, 2012This is definitively one of our favorite spots in NYC. The tram is accessible with your metro-card and gives you amazing panoramic views.- One of the coolest but most overlooked views is AS you cross OVER 2nd ave. Look north at the traffic coming at you. Unique view for NYC
Ruthie EdwardsAugust 20, 2018The aerial tramway became the highlight of my summer. Amazing views of the city for just $2.75.
Jess MayaOctober 24, 20212.75 seems a good deal to take you to the other side. You can use the metro card. Nice views especially during sunset.- NY60DAYSMarch 25, 2015You should definitely take advantage of your unlimited Metrocard and ride Roosevelt Island Tram.
Ana Carolina MirandaMarch 11, 2014You have to pay for your way back, you can't stay on the tram even if you're there just for the ride. So go explore the island.- The Corcoran GroupApril 1, 2011Take a ride on the Tram with your metrocard and enjoy some of the best views of the city – especially great at sunrise or sunset.
Lines tend to develop on the wekeends because of tourists and visitors enjoying the views of the island- The view from the north side, night or day, is almost unbeatable.
Brownstone Living NYCMarch 12, 2017Looking to spice up your date nights? Take the Tram to Roosevelt Island and walk around.
Diego RufoApril 4, 2011Use your Metrocard to board this piece of old NYC and take in the spectacular view! Oh and you might also recognize the tram from the Spider-Man movie =) Read more
Peter aka Nomi FApril 24, 2010Make a reservation @ Serendipity and while you wait, take the Tram to Roosevelt Island to kill time. Tram provides and amazing view of the city.
- If u ever see me on the tram, yell "Boogyman! Boogyman, tell me your secrets!" to earn a free drink at Riverwalk Bar & Grill.
Without a doubt the most picturesque and fun commute home in NYC.
- Don't bring your bike on during rush hour. Please don't.
Thiru Selvan SathiamoorthyMarch 3, 2012Its a fun ride with great views to get into the city rather than taking the boring subway
Jon ShannonOctober 15, 2011Listen to this while you ride:
Please respect that this is public transportation for many of us, and not a tourist attraction.
AnjeiJanuary 14, 2017Удобно,что работает по метрокарте. Живописная дорога - стоит того чтобы возвращаться сюда вновь и вновь..
Dmitry KönigFebruary 26, 2017Если приехали на метро, вход бесплатный. Так же и обратно по той же карте. Плата трам+метро по одной цене. Не тормозите
