Kimmie O. • July 26, 2020Picnic Point is toward the tip of Governors Island. It indeed is a good spot for picnics. You’ll have a great view of the Statue of Liberty from here.
Rachel G. • September 28, 2018While the views are incredible,the food is incredibly expensive, partly because they have to bring everything to the island. I paid $60 for dinner and breakfast, which wasn’t spectacular.
Charlie R. • July 21, 2018Best drinks on the island! Lots of seating in the shade so just grab some food, a drink and relax.
Dora • July 21, 2010Search your family roots at the museum, and bring along a picnic – the island that welcomed millions of immigrants is great for a history lesson and a little R&R.Powered by ParentsConnect.com
Leo N. • August 23, 2015The museum is OK-ish, but the boat ride from Battery Park out to the island is worth the trip. You don't have to stop at the Statue of Liberty.
Juan C. • August 17, 2019Below average taco selection and expensive. (2 tacos for $10). No modifications on the food? Calm down you are a food truck on governors island. Very disappointing, a definite skip.

Flo A. • April 25, 2023Only a 5-minute ferry from Manhattan! It's a perfect plan for a day trip, tour of Governors Island, and enjoy a modern-Mexican lunch or dinner with a city view.
loran j. • July 5, 2015Only place on the island that has beer unless there's a concert going on. Plus if your not feeling their food, there are usually food trucks around.
