Escape by ferry to Governors Island in N.Y.
NEW YORK — There’s an attraction in New York City that offers sweeping views of the harbor and the Statue of Liberty, traffic-free biking, shaded lawns for picnics and outdoor concerts. And it’s all free — including the quick ferry to get there. Located just off the tip of Manhattan, the former military base on what’s called Governors Island is slowly evolving into a public playground and attracting more and more visitors each year.

IF YOU make it to Manhattan before mid-October, take the ferry over to Governors Island at the southern tip (at Battery Park). There you'll find a parklike setting on the site of an old military base.
