New York's newest island, a man-made gift to the city
CBSN
It looks like something a child might have imagined: a mirage of an island floating above the Hudson River. Eccentric, over-the-top, fun! "It's leaving the city, going to Oz," said billionaire Barry Diller.
Little Island is Diller and his wife, fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg's, $260 million present to the City of New York, topped not by a bow, but a man-made magic mountain. "I kept saying, 'No, make it higher, make it higher,'" Diller told correspondent Martha Teichner. "What I didn't realize is when you get up here and you look around, it's so glorious."More Related News
