Make a visit of it

Alice Austen was a pioneering queer photographer in the 1890s. The cottage sits right on the Narrows with Statue of Liberty views. One of the most photogenic and under-visited spots in all five boroughs.

After: Joe & Pat's (pizza, $8-16). Victory Blvd, 15 min drive. Thin, crispy, bar-style pizza that rivals anything in Manhattan. Cash preferred.
