Yesterday I made my first trip in years to Governors Island to check out the art galleries they have installed inside each room of the turn-of-the-century Colonial Revival houses that formerly were occupied by military families.

Be sure to follow me on Instagram @Worleygigdotcom to stay informed on all my rad goings-on around the town!
