Governor's Island offers the perfect in-city day trip. No residents, no cars, no stores - just views. We come here for summer art festivals, easter egg hunts, fall fun days, ice skating and picnics with friends. With year round art, excellent food, smartly landscaped parklands, the Q Spa and Collective Retreats - it's an incredible city amenity packed with history and intrigue! We've been coming here as a favorite place for 15 years. Long before it was home to the longest slide in NYC! (hint hint to the families with little ones)
The High Line lives up to the hype: A remarkable piece of urban reinvention in a city famous for reinventing itself. We have watched the High Line grow up, and have grown up right along with it. Preesa and I designed the "Haunted Highline Halloween" festival back in 2015 & again in 2016 which was a formative time in our creative careers and cemented the park as a a mutual favorite.
