The hint of warmer temperatures and the blossoming of spring blooms fills us with excitement, as we replace our winter wear with lighter spring layers. We remain just as thrilled to explore the seasonal activities our Concierge team has recommended for us this season.
EXPLORE GOVERNORS ISLAND
Located in the heart of New York Harbor, Governors Island is a 172-acre island that is only a ferry ride away from Manhattan. While the island is open all year round, it really starts to come to life in the spring as Liggett Terrance begins to bloom. The season begins with fun events such as the Governor Island Walking Tour and the NYC Runs Spring Fling 5k & 10K. There is also a fun Easter egg hunt in April to celebrate the holiday. Don’t forget to check out the public art on display around the island in various mediums.
