Can one enjoy a cappucino (or, more civilized-ly, a drink) there or is this the typical American Puritanical Park routine?
the jazz age lawn party is this weekend on governor’s island – both days.

Governor’s Island is awesome! You can bike ride, take tours of many of the old buildings, see art shows, etc. Go next weekend. My friend is part of their art show/festival running from 6/12-6/14! I want lots of people to see her paintings.
This is from a press release I received recently:
Free Bike Fridays, the tremendously popular free program on Governors Island, begins this Friday, June 5, the Governors Island Preservation and Education Corporation (GIPEC) announced today. Every Friday between June 5 and October 9, visitors can borrow a bike for free, for up to one hour. More than 200 bikes will be available for the program this year. Free Bike Fridays is sponsored by Bike and Roll
I’m on this!
Yes, you can bring bikes. And there are 5 miles of bike paths on the island. Have fun!
Joe – I think you can
we take the “Water Taxi” that runs like every 20 mins from Fairway in Red Hook right to Gov Island – I think it’s $5 per person but it was a fun 4 min trip!
According to the Governors Island website, this Saturday’s schedule from Brooklyn is on the hour and every 20 minutes thereafter, while the return is on the half hour and every 20 minutes thereafter. http://www.govisland.com/Visit_the_Island/directions.asp
