Circled around Governor's Island, arrived on Coast Guard Training Center Governor's Island in 1968 and stayed there three years, off and on. I loved that place, I had never been out on a date until I arrived there.
New York City really has tow (2) Downtown Areas in one (1), based on Skyscraper / High-Rise Building Massing, "LOWER MANHATTAN" and "UPPER MANHATTAN". In the USA, only Chicago is 2nd in terms of Downtown Skyscraper / High-Rise Building Massing. Great Views!!
