    You may want to check a travel forum. lol. Try places like tripadvisor.com or something if you get no responses here. Even if you do get any responses here, they're going to be few and far between for a location as specific/unique as that.

    I wouldn't know, the stench of Knicks and Yankees is too much for me to venture that far north.

    I read up alot about. Just was figuring someone would have advice.. Maybe I'll mention that I will be within 500 miles of Jeremy Lin and this thread will blow up.

    I always wanted to go when I lived in NYC but over long weekends, the prices get ridiculously expensive. Book the trip early. There is limited ferry capacity getting to/from the island. Or better yet, go mid week to avoid the crowds.
