With only one bridge connecting the island to the mainland, City Island's relative isolation has helped it maintain its nautical, small-town character. Once settle by oystermen, shipbuilders and fishermen, City Island today is home to approximately 5,000 New Yorkers, many of whom earn their living in Manhattan or nearby Westchester County. City Island is a popular destination for day-trippers year-round. They come for the seafood restaurants, antique shopping and sea air; or, for a spot of fishing, boating or bird-watching. The island is accessible by car, express bus to Midtown Manhattan, or local bus Bx29 to the 6 train.
