andrew: Please. The only people who spout that "keeping my life private" crap are closeted homos.

When the opening date comes a little closer on the calendar, I'll be sure to post all the relevant information for visitors on Gothamist. Until then, here's a great Group at flickr of Governors Island photos.

The City runs a free ferry from the Battery Maritime Terminal to Governors Island, 5 times a day, in the summer. This year the ferry runs from June 2 to September 2. It's worth checking out.

Jodie Foster is on the list as well. Where's Sam Champion or Mike Piazza? Sue Simmons?

Governor's Island has to be one of the most overlooked treasures in New York. I ride past it every day on the Staten Island ferry and have always wanted to go but since it was always off limits it remains so in my head. I'm still not sure how to get there. How often doe sthat ferry run anyway? Someone should really start promoting it. Once people start going maybe it will help them decide what to do with it. And if people don't go, maybe they should go ahead and turn it into a farm after all (that NYMag article this week was SO interesting!) P.S. The Out magazine cover was just another idiocy from that irrelevant rag. They are obviously trying to stir up controversy and get some buzz at the expense of people who would rather just not be gay icons. Angry definitely summed it up best.

Wow.... although 'Out' isn't exactly a respected prestigious news outlet (by a long shot), it's not exactly a great idea for anyone outside of the tabloid industry to put something like that on the cover (especially when it's based upon pure speculation) "I understand why people might be interested. But I just don’t talk about my personal life. It’s a decision I made a long time ago, before I ever even knew anyone would be interested in my personal life. The whole thing about being a reporter is that you're supposed to be an observer and to be able to adapt with any group you’re in, and I don’t want to do anything that threatens that." -- Anderson Cooper

but apparently flaunting it on magazine covers is too gay. Out magazine seems to never ever learn: most people want to be known by what they do as a profession not by whom they prefer to sleep with.

All the good stuff on Governor's Island is off limits.
