MTA reports normal F train subway service to and from Roosevelt Island this weekend and the Tram is operating on a regular basis as well although I expect it will be much more crowded than usual due to the 4th of July Fireworks extravaganza at Southpoint Park this evening.
In addition to the Fireworks tonight, there are plenty of things to do this weekend in New York including a free concert by the New York Philharmonic on July 5 at Governors Island and a weekend of Yankee/ Red Sox games (Go Yanks - I'll be there on Saturday).

There's also the 28.5 mile Marathon Manhattan Swim around the entire island of Manhattan on July 5. For more things to do this weekend, check out New York Post and Newyorkology
