Hi, I’m Ericka O’Connell! I’m your Roosevelt Island Beat writer—always on the lookout for community joy, sweet events, and the little moments that make Island life feel like home. I cover everything from pop-up art shows to ferry alerts, cherry blossom picnics to lost pet sightings. My stories are timely, light-hearted, and rooted in care. When I’m not writing, you’ll probably find me walking along the Riverwalk, cheering on a neighbor’s event, or sipping tea while planning the next “Things to Do” list. Got something happening on the Island? I’d love to hear about it! 💛
