Long Island City

Rate this item
(0 votes)

Long Island City, formerly an industrial city, has become gentrified to become more residential and artistic. It is very safe and easy to reach by public transportation, trains, as well as the New York Water Taxi and the Long Island Rail Road.

A short walk to the water in Gantry Park provides stunning and breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline, including the U.N., the Chrysler Building and the CitiGroup Building.

Long Island City is still quite commercial and is a must-visit for fans of urban infrastructure and industrial photography. Don't let the factory facades and elevated train tracks put you off to staying here. Shopping, art festivals and excellent dining opportunities are around every corner.

It is home to major artistic institutions like P.S. 1, The Noguchi Museum, Five Pointz, Silvercup Studios, Socrates Sculpture Garden and The Museum of Moving Image and in Astoria, you'll find Kaufman Astoria Studios. The Live at the Gantries Music Festival is very popular in the summer.

Staying here is just as convenient to Midtown Manhattan as, for example, the Upper West Side or lower Manhattan. You can even walk across the 59th Street-Queensborough Bridge right into Manhattan.

  • Aquariums

    Oceans cover 71% of the Earth’s surface, and we’ve only explored about 5% of it. That leaves so much of the Earth that we know nothing about. Not everyone can dive right into the water to look at the ocean life, so why not do the next best thing? Aquariums give us a window into a whole other world. Most locations around the world have aquariums; some larger than others.

  • Snowmobiling

    Snowmobiling began to take off in the 1950's as lightweight design emerged. At first, snowmobiling was a topic of dispute, because snowmobilers like to take advantage of the flexibility of their machines to travel off-road, thereby disrupting otherwise pristine environments. Others objected to snowmobilers because their machines were noisy and polluted the environment.
