Robin Fish

First time here and first time hiking on the US side. I much prefer this side as parking was plentiful, it wasn't overpriced (parking seems free) or full of touristy things. You can get right down to the river, and being a few meters at times to the border, means Canadian cell service still works. The playground by the parking was nice, my boys spent some time on it.

I visited as I was on Fifth Avenue anyways. I was curious so popped in for a quick view.

It was quite empty, this was a weekday. It looked like you would expect, a bit over the top. Trump branded products everywhere. I just couldn't help thinking of Space Balls, "Merchandising! Where the real money is made". Still it's something you should see once, but I wouldn't go out of your way either.

This was a quick ride from Manhattan, I really liked it here. Right in the middle of the river, it was a bit cooler here which was welcome. The tram off the island is worth it, however they do not accept OMNY yet, we had to buy tickets but it was quite inexpensive.

Found this place while heading to the ferry terminal. My boys loved it. The slides were nice and quick, and appeared to be made of stone, which I thought was rather neat.

I really enjoyed it here. There happened to be chess boards setup on the day we viy, you can play all you want for 5$. Even without the chess it was a great spot.
