4Roosevelt Island
Located in the East River between Manhattan and Queens, Roosevelt Island offers one of the most tranquil and scenic fall experiences in the city. Take the Roosevelt Island Tramway for sweeping aerial views of the fall foliage and the city skyline. Once you arrive, the island’s quiet streets and parks provide plenty of spots for capturing autumn’s beauty.
Four Freedoms Park, at the island’s southern tip, is a particularly great spot for photography, with the FDR Memorial framed by tree-lined walkways and stunning views of the Manhattan skyline. The mix of river views and fall foliage makes Roosevelt Island a hidden gem for photographers.
