Leaving LaGuardia I saw a small island in the river, which looked to have a large, abandoned building on it. It looked like an anbandoned institution of some kind. The island was very small and had only this large, empty building on it. What was it?

Probably Ellis Island.
It is where they processed immigrants as they arrived via ship before the advent of air travel. It is a great place to visit. It's near the Statue of Liberty,
It is being restored.

LaGuardia is closer to Manhatten. there's a transit line which will take you from LaGuardia to the city (Grand critical or TimesSquare) for variety of 10 dollars. Cabs can take you besides, however the fee is bigger (40 5 to Manhatten). i think of the Subway is a flat $2 everywhere interior the gadget, yet that's an prolonged holiday with a circulate. you are able to take the same holiday from JFK, the fee is $13. i've got in no way taken the sunshine rail from there, it extremely is in all probability a exceedingly comparable fee after the transfers.

Rikers Island is very close to Laguardia airport, but there are many buildings on it. It is the city's largest prison. There are several other islands you may have seen but with out more specific referances it's hard to say which one it may have been

It was New Jersey - the largest mental institution in the world.
