Visit New York City's 172-acre Governor's Island before it closes for the season. The Island is host to various interesting art-installations and spacious public parks. It is open to the public and easily accessable via free ferry service from Lower Manhattan (Corner of South and Whitehall St.) and Brooklyn (Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 6) every 30 minutes.

While we will bring at least two types of food, we encourage others to add their own food and drinks to the mix. It can be anything from a bag of pretzels to carrot slices or a desert! As long as it's portable and will not leave a giant mess at the end.

In order to partake in the food eating, you must bring at least one share-able food or drink item yourself. We also ask to please list all of the ingredients of the food in person so people can beware of allergies.
