According to Time Out NYC:

Casago, a vacation rental property management company servicing homeowners and
guests in Mexico and the U.S., actually did a study to find the most peaceful tourist spots across the U.S., and found that
Roosevelt Island is New York Citys top spot to find some zen….

Local Instagram satirist Weird RI humorously reflects the views of many Roosevelt Island residents not happy with publicity encouraging tourists to visit Roosevelt Island by suggesting:

… Heckle a tourist today or forget about riding the tram ever again.

Other residents commented:

Not to mention the not very Zen like Swinging Tram ride.
