The first New York State Park named after a groundbreaking LGBTIQ+ icon has many reasons to be proud: an unobstructed panorama of Manhattan’s steely skyline, 19th-century remnants from its cargo-handling past and green spaces perfect for waterfront picnics. Visit on summer Saturdays for the Smorgasburg food fest, and your cup will runneth over.
