The numerous yacht clubs and marinas surrounding the island are reminders of its nautical past but its darker side is way more interesting although rather morbid. Looming off the eastern shore of City Island is Hart Island, a potter’s field for New York City since the American Civil War. Nearly 2000 unidentified dead are buried there each year, including body parts and still-born babies. If that doesn’t spook you, you can hear a constant popping noise from any point on the island. What sounds like fireworks, is actually from a large firing range not far away.
If you’re looking for some good seafood and a night away from NYC, City Island fits the bill but don’t go expecting the Hamptons. CI is way more modest and, refreshingly, less pretentious. If you’re not into seafood, or the sound of gunshots, there’s something for you too, check out Artie’s for a delish Italian meal at a reasonable price.
