What a summer it’s been! By far the fastest season, we can’t believe that it is (unofficially) coming to an end. Sure, we’ll still suck up all the sun and stay outdoors as long as possible but the game changes after Labor Day. Shorts will stay for a bit but the vibe definitely cools as people settle back into their routines as fall brings us a host of great events and things to do. So, with that, we are here to advise you to stay where you are!
What does that mean? Well, surely all your friends and family are participating in the mass exodus that happens every weekend in our city. Whether its out east, up north, jersey or abroad, people leave this town when the weather gets warm! While that may benefit you as it relates to plans and restaurant reservations, it can make for some lonely weekends. However, that is slightly different come holiday weekends like Labor Day. We think you should stay right where you are! New York has plenty to offer including this oasis. And, its on an island to boot!
Governors Island is a 172-acre island in the heart of New York Harbor. Just minutes from lower Manhattan and the Brooklyn waterfront by ferry, the Island is a popular year-round destination for New Yorkers and visitors from around the world. A former military base closed to the public for nearly two centuries, Governors Island has been transformed over the last decade into a vibrant public destination. An award-winning park with winding paths and extraordinary vistas complements its dozens of historic buildings, year-round educational and cultural facilities, rich arts and culture program and 22-acre National Monument managed by the National Park Service.
Looking ahead, Governors Island is envisioned to grow as a dynamic public place, with expanded educational, non-profit and commercial facilities. With panoramic gorgeous city views, relaxation rooms, saunas and steam baths among more than 20 spa experiences, QC NY is the cherry on top to complete your day of relaxation in this sensational context.
That includes a spa and wellness retreat right here! For more information, visit https://www.qcny.com/en/governors-island
