They forgot to mention the first annual Governors Island Art fair that's running every weekend this month...

@6, How did you go during the workday (my brilliant idea many months ago, utterly thwarted by the ferry's schedule)?? How do you access the island Monday through Thursday?? DO tell.

I just went during the workday. No crowds to contend with.

should build affordable housing on this island . . . and a giant wall all around to block any views

It was nice in 2007 but this year it's starting to feel a lot more crowded. I kinda liked it with fewer people...made the island feel more like an oasis in the middle of the city.

"Let's not forget the island's appeal for miniature golfers." I believe they like to be called dwarfs. No need to resort to name-calling, Gothamist. Jeeze.

The Punk Island music festival rocked. Skum City played, as did Reagan Youth, The Blame, Status Quo No Show, Grizzly Smith, Dealin' With It, The Alley Rats and more.

Good way to cop a feel.
