Roosevelt Island, New York is a long, narrow island in the East River between the Manhattan and Queens boroughs of New York City. Often overlooked, the island is a fantastic place to enjoy city views and riverfront strolls, without the typical city crowds. Rent a car in Roosevelt Island and delve into the varied history of this midway point, which was previously home to prisons, insane asylums, and other institutions that benefited from the island's former isolation (and led to its one-time title of "Welfare Island").

Driving Through Roosevelt Island

Jump into your Roosevelt Island car rental and head up to the Blackwell Island Lighthouse, a stone Gothic structure dating from 1872 and a New York City Landmark. Just south of here, admire the Octagon, once the main entrance of the New York City Lunatic Asylum and now an apartment complex. It's here that journalist Nellie Bly did the research for her asylum exposé that was published in her book, "Ten Days in a Mad-House." At the southern tip of the island, check out Southpoint Park and Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park, where you can enjoy gardens and waterfront vistas. Finally, don't miss out on your chance to ride the Roosevelt Island Tramway to or from the Upper East Side for amazingly scenic views of the cityscape below! You're on a roll, so don't stop now!
