Manhattan's paradise - Roosevelt Island half-day tour

Roosevelt Island is an island in the East River in New York City with a long history. It was once called Blackwell's Island, later renamed Welfare Island, and was renamed Roosevelt Island in 1973 in honor of former US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Although it belongs to Manhattan geographically, it has a quiet atmosphere that is completely different from the bustling and fast-paced city of Manhattan.
