Stunning views of Manhattan’s skyline from Roosevelt Island’s Riverwalk

Island Public Transit Parks Ferry Scenic

Within the Manhattan borough, you’ll find a quaint little neighborhood known as Riverwalk, which is situated on Roosevelt Island. This secluded yet convenient neighborhood boasts a getaway from big-city living, while remaining just moments from the hustle and bustle of both Manhattan and Queens. The Roosevelt Island Subway Station will take you through both boroughs, but you can also take the Roosevelt Island Ferry or the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge into either borough.

The neighborhood itself boasts well-kept sidewalks along the river that give breathtaking views of Manhattan’s skyline and the picturesque bridge. In Riverwalk, residents reside in hi-rise apartment buildings, with some office buildings situated in the area as well. Between coffee shops and bistros, Riverwalk has a few conveniences of its own. If you’re wanting to play a game of soccer, lacrosse, or softball, head on over to Firefighters Field, a large greenspace overlooking the East River.
