    Most cinematic night view

    Why This Place?

    The view from the Roosevelt Island Tram is one of the most thrilling and unique in the city. It offers a soaring, bird's-eye perspective of the Midtown skyline, the Queensboro Bridge, and the river that you can't get anywhere else. Once on the island, the ruins of the Smallpox Hospital in South Point Park, set against the modern skyline, create a hauntingly beautiful and dramatic contrast.

    Local Tip: Take the tram for the most cinematic experience. Visit the Smallpox Hospital ruins at South Point Park for dramatic skyline contrasts. Best photographed during blue hour.
