Roosevelt Island is well regarded as the quieter side of NYC. You won’t hear nearly as many car horns throughout the day as you might in the more densely populated parts of the city, and there’s a sense of community so that quiet is something of a vibe for Roosevelt Islanders.
Roosevelt Island is also filled with a LOT of green space, which is perfect for the warmer months when the parks host events. In particular, summer movie nights are very popular and even crowded because who doesn’t want to watch an oldie but goodie with a view of the NYC skyline? Learn more about Roosevelt Island Parks.
