Forest Glen Posted December 13, 2010 Share #2 Posted December 13, 2010 A trip I'm doing next week after I'm done with finals: to Roosevelt Island (the 63rd Connector sucks, but there's a specific reason why I'm using it) Tram to 60 Street/2nd Avenue to Herald Square. Lunch break to Chambers to South Ferry Ferry From there I'll improvise, but as you know by now, anytime I head to Staten Island it's to take express bus pics. I want to take a pic of the CT. I only have one Staten Island CT pic and that's the X1 at Eltingville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
