Roosevelt Island is a small and narrow island on the East River between Manhattan and Queens. It is small in size but has a unique architectural history. The ruins of the mysterious Smallpox Hospital are worth exploring. On the southern end of the island there is the huge Roosevelt Monument and Liberty Park for a leisurely stroll. Take the Roosevelt Island cable car when the lights are on, and you can enjoy the tall buildings and the dazzling night view of Manhattan. Many film and television dramas such as "Gangs of New York" and "Spider-Man" have been filmed on the cable car and the island.
