Neighborhood Fact Sheet
Long Island CityThis neighborhood in the borough of Queens is among New York City’s most exciting up-and-coming areas. The once-industrial enclave is noted for its rapid residential growth, waterfront parks with breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline and thriving arts community. Long Island City (LIC) is dotted with turn-of-the-century buildings that once housed factories now transformed into galleries, hotels, museums and studios. It also features a fast-growing list of must-visit eateries, shops and performance venues. An influx of new hotels makes LIC a convenient option for any NYC stay, as well as a great value. Located just minutes from Midtown Manhattan by subway, the neighborhood is also easily accessible from LaGuardia and JFK International Airports.
Getting ThereLIC is about a 10-minute commute from Midtown Manhattan and is easy to get to by train, bus, car or bicycle.
Subway: Eight subway lines connect LIC to Midtown Manhattan.
Bicycle: Cycling in Long Island City is easy and enjoyable: there are bike lanes on the Queensboro and Pulaski Bridges and throughout the neighborhood, which also contains ample off-street bicycle parking.
Boat: The East River Ferry provides service from LIC to Midtown and Lower Manhattan.
