"You may think you know the deal with this new tourist-infested, human-made lifted landmass now plopped in the Hudson River, but we have some tips. The best way to experience Little Island is to arrive between 6am and 12pm - that way you won’t need to reserve a free timed ticket ahead of time. Plus, they won’t kick you out once the timed ticket entrance period starts. We’d also recommend checking out their events calendar and booking timed tickets during late-night hours." - hannah albertine
