••• “The Trust for Governors Island […] announced today that it’s partnering with glamping company Collective Retreats to bring an ‘environmentally-friendly overnight lodging retreat’ to the island. […] Known as Collective Governors Island, the campground will have individual sleeping areas for up to 100 people; rates will begin at $125/night on weekends, and $75/night during the week.” When I checked a random Thursday night in June, the rates were $175 to $800 per night (the latter sleeps four). “It’ll join Adventures on Governors Island, which debuted last year and brought ziplining, a rock climbing wall, and other activities to the island. This year, the zipline will be longer, and there’ll also be a mini-golf course.” —Curbed

The first floor […] is lined with a rich mix of vintage TVs, from tiny boxes to big, looming screens.
