Stefanie Van Steelandt: This iconic place is one of the marvels of #BatteryPark . All year round giant palmtrees fill the atrium which offers breathtaking views of the Hudson River and a selection of restaurants which won't make you leave hungry.

Stefanie Van Steelandt: Beautiful eagle statue in #BatteryPark at the East Coast Memorial.

Stefanie Van Steelandt: The best way to view #BatteryPark is from the water. Going to Ellis Island, Governor's Island or the Statue of Liberty will offer stunning views.

Stefanie Van Steelandt: #RooseveltIsland's lighthouse on the Northern tip of the island. It is quite a hike to walk up from the tram, but you can also hop on one of the buses going around the island.

Stefanie Van Steelandt: #BatteryPark has a great sailing club with the World Financial Center in the background.

Stefanie Van Steelandt: My favorite way of traveling the waters: New York Water Taxi. It is on its way to dock at the #BatteryPark Terminal.

Stefanie Van Steelandt: #MeyerParking This neighborhood institution is an amazing place for kids. It has any toy you can imagine, and you can even take a ride on a giant Ferris wheel.

Stefanie Van Steelandt: This park at the most Southern tip of #RooseveltIsland encompasses both the smallpox hospital and the FDR Four Freedoms Park.

Stefanie Van Steelandt: Aerial view of #RooseveltIsland when arriving by tram. This is the spot with most apartment buildings, and also has the most shopping and restaurants

Stefanie Van Steelandt: The tram crosses the East River at regular intervals and costs $2.50 per ride, which can be paid by Metrocard. The Q32 also takes you to #RooseveltIsland. The tram is a much better choice, though. Not only is it extremely fast (a few minutes), but it also offers stunning views of Manhattan, Queens and the Island.
