GPOYW Chillin’ out maxin’ relaxin’ all cool at Governors Island “beer garden” edition
Glad I caught Governors Island before the season was over
Reader submission from this is alisha.
this guy’s love affair with Governor’s Island knows no bound.
listen,
if you get on that boat to Governors Island and aren’t:
- rushing to find the best seat on the top where there’s open air and the best view of that 3min ride
- immediately sweating profusely in every nook and cranny of your body
- scared yet elated when the boat abruptly pulls out and starts chugging off
- snapping photos and bragging to everyone online I’M ON A BOAT
then you don’t deserve to be in this city.
today within an hour’s walk around the perimeter of Governors Island, I:
- had a smile on my face the size of a watermelon
- missed seeing people dressed in seer sucker suits prepped for a Polo match
- saw kids ecstatic to be fishing
- saw whole families camped out at Picnic Point
- took lots of photos
- walked, stopped, and started so much my feet hurt
- laid out to see the hot dude at the trapeze school
- ate a CANDIED BACON + PEANUT BUTTER ICE CREAM SANDWICH
- remembered how much I love this place
don’t even talk to me if you don’t like it here.
Today.
How much do you think I should bid on this little fellow?
Governors Island waves hi to Paul

Top 5 Reasons to Visit Governors Island
bonus: spotting people like this on the ferry ride over.
kite flying for kids only? yea ok. last year I totally got my own kite and flew the crap out of that, and I don’t care if I had to cut 3 year olds to get in on the action. I’ll be back this year, mark my words.
I highly suggest you get in line all summer as well!
