Long Island City
Stay in soulful Long Island City, 10 minutes from Midtown Manhattan

From suave restaurants and cute coffee shops to no nonsense breweries and street food vans; Long Island City is a melting pot of cultures. Visit museums filled with contemporary art; walk the Queensboro bridge into Manhattan; or cycle along the river to Gantry State Park and beyond.
