Pro tip for NYC tourists: skip the trip to Liberty Island and go to Governors Island instead. You still get to look at the Statue of Liberty up close, but you can also relax at the spa and grab a meal at Gitano Island. The restaurant and bar is just a five-minute ferry ride from Manhattan and serves modern Mexican food in a tropical garden setting. It's the ultimate escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
