Since then, New York leaders have come to press the federal government and in 2003 the federal government sold most of the Island to the people of New York for a symbolic dollar value.<\/p>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<p>Today, the Governor&#8217;s Island Preservation and Education Corporation (GIPEC) manages about 60 hectares of the island, while the National Park Service manages the 8 hectares that are part of the Governors Island National Monument that include two fortresses built in the early nineteenth century.<\/p>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Before becoming a weekend tourist attraction for everyone, the place already had vocation for leisure. As well as a fortress to defend New York still served as a &#8220;holiday home&#8221; for British royal governors and later military commanders.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Nowadays, a good part of these houses of leisure turned into galleries or art workshops that work during the weekends, in one of these houses there was a group carving with their respective hammers works in blocks of stone.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">This small, uninhabited island\u00a0only open in the summer, with access only of pedestrians and their bicycles by means of the ferry and is\u00a0full of attractions during the season. It is the best alternative for those who want to get away from Times Square and crowded tourist spots.\u00a0Located less than 10 minutes from Manhattan, the atmosphere of peace and tranquility makes you feel at another location, very different from the rush of the busiest attractions in town.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Enjoy recording incredible photos of the Manhattan skyline, the Financial District and the Statue of Liberty!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York is really know how to enjoy the summer, and one of the most special attractions of that era is the opening of Governors Island.
