US East Coast Day 4: Roosevelt Island, Central Park, Musical

On Jan. 15, 08, the 4th day on my stay in New York, we first went to Roosevelt Island to get a view of the Midtown Skyline.

Taking the elevated subway line:

Roosevelt Island is just a weird place, an island in the heart of New York that was a former place to house mental people, sick people and criminals but now half of it is redeveloped for housing.

The aerial tram connects Manhattan to the island, we wanted to take the tram, but on that day it was out of service.

We went to see the musical "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee", it was pretty entertaining, I did not realize that it was a comedy until the play started. E-tickets are getting more and more popular here:

Great pics as usual, I don't travel much and I definitely have never been to New York. I really want to go to the Art Museum though. I really like that kind of stuff.
