According to the MTA there will be regular F train service to and from Roosevelt Island this weekend and RIOC reports no interruptions in Tram service either.

Looking for things to do this weekend on Roosevelt Island or in New York City? Head on down to Southpoint Park on Roosevelt Island for a picnic and enjoy the amazing panoramic views. They may be ruined forever if residents are not able to stop the Franklin & Eleanor Roosevelt Institute from building their memorial to the architect Louis Kahn so go there soon to enjoy a remarkable waterfront and New York City skyline view while you still can. Time Out New York says it is one of the best places in New York for a picnic.

Other things to do this weekend include the Buckminster Fuller Symposium on Friday and Saturday at the Whitney Museum. The Starting with the Universe exhibition closes on September 21.

On Saturday, head up to Wave Hill in the Bronx for Honey Weekend and:

Try on beekeeping gear, peek inside an empty hive and learn fascinating facts about honeybees. Taste different kinds of honey and find out why honey is available in so many flavors and varieties.

On Sunday, take a trip to Brooklyn for the Brooklyn Book Festival then take a short walk to Fort Greene for Brownstoner's Brooklyn Flea market.
