Being in NYC, we couldn’t miss another aerial view of the Manhattan skyline, so we decided to experience it by riding the Roosevelt Island Tram. The aerial tram-car is a unique mode of public transportation from Midtown to Roosevelt Island. Of course, it is not the only route to access the island. There is the Roosevelt Island Bridge which is the sole route for vehicular and pedestrian traffic and a subway train is available as well. The skyline view from the tram is incredible and a perfect photo-op. The tram follows right alongside the beautiful Queensboro Bridge overlooking a magnificent stretch of Manhattan and Roosevelt Island with the East River in between.
