Some really cool views of the East River. I also took a picture of a non-descript steel container with wires coming out of it and going into the water which I believe are for the East River tidal power station.

On the far northside of the island, there is a 124-plot community garden. Each family with a small plot (I'm sure there is a waiting list!)tends it themselves, but anyone is allowed in to relax and enjoy the day. Yes – Roosevelt Island is the answer.
