New York City/Long Island/Westchester
Eastern Edge
By PAUL D. KRETKOWSKI
|
| The New York City region is a place of superlatives. The great majority of the inhabitants of New York state live here, in the five boroughs of New York City, Westchester County and the |
two Long Island counties of Nassau and Suffolk. This area has over 12.3 million people and is an economic engine for the entire U.S. thanks to a diverse base of manufacturing, shipping, financial, creative and service industries. The areas surrounding New York City proper benefit from the excitement the city generates even as their suburban or rural spaces let people relax in a way that's impossible in Times Square.

Royal Rendezvous
Some of the first big structures in the New York City region were castles or forts, built to control access to New York Harbor and the Hudson, or to defend the young American republic after the Revolutionary War. In peacetime, New York's wealthy continued to build big and sprinkle mansions throughout the area. These structures tended to be built to last and many are available for events today.
New York City's best-known fortifications are on Governors Island. This former Army and Coast Guard base is now home to the Governors Island National Monument (800.782.8369), which includes Fort Jay and Castle Williams. The island, just 800 yards from Lower Manhattan, has seven miles of car-free bike trails and hosts numerous events throughout the year. It has plentiful sports fields and picnic areas, as well as indoor spaces, including Pershing Hall and the Commanding Officers House.
