New York City Seen From the Roosevelt Island Cable Car
[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he Roosevelt Island Tramway provides the most modern aerial tramway in the world, running every 7-15 minutes from 59th Street and Second Avenue in Manhattan to Tramway Plaza on Roosevelt Island.
It’s also the locale for quickie selfies and images of NYC. For the cost of a subway token, you get a ringside seat to an up-close view of the city that never sleeps – as you ride in the flying car above it – tiny people rushing to their appointments, cars zooming to the boroughs and beyond. I love taking a sneak peek at signposts and terraces all floating above the city
It’s a short ride but you get glimpses of city side streets and the beautiful East River as the cable car descends to the other side, and commuters with babies and bicycles and families click photos. At night the view is dramatic, like a foreign country. and the city goes from prosaic to glamorous.
