Ellis Island
More than 12 million people passed through the immigration station on nearby Ellis Island between 1892 and 1954. The main building now houses a remarkable museum of immigration, where visitors can pass, as their forebears might have, through the various examination and registration rooms of the island. The museum movingly features the recorded memories of immigrants who passed through here.

Ellis Island is typically a museum by day. However, a friend of mine took over the entire island and had her Bat Mitzvah party there. Her party happened to coincide with one of the most important Yankee games in the history of the team.
