The Roosevelt Island Tram, 250 feet above the East River at its peak, carries 125 people in its cabin every 15 minutes. Originally built for commuters between the islands of Roosevelt and Manhattan, the tram now serves as a popular activity for sightseeing tourists less prone to vertigo. The spectacular views of midtown Manhattan and the Queensborough Bridge are incredible to even a veteran New Yorker, and the ride itself, suspended from cables over the water, is a memorable experience.
