Many city dwellers escape the heat and energy of a bustling metropolis during the summer months. One such escape for many New Yorkers and locals is Grant Island in Brantingham, New York, a beautifully curated rustic retreat run by John Paul Pfeiffer and his family.

You can relax in a hammock and read, hop on a jet ski, or for more adventure go flying high off a waterslide, or simply take a slow boat ride around the lake. There is something to experience for everyone and connect with nature.

As the Editor-At-Large at Soulivity before a busy Fall season, this was a welcomed escape and to reconnect with some old and new friends.
