Join Mario Medici as we explore Roosevelt Island, a small, two-mile strip of land that sits between the boroughs of Manhattan and Queens. Among the highlights are the FDR Four Freedoms Park, Cornell Tech, Southpoint Park, the Smallpox Hospital (ruins), the Octagon, built in 1834 (formally the insane asylum), the recently restored island lighthouse and very latest attraction, The Girl Puzzle Memorial (a tribute to Nellie Bly).
