Among the places I frequent on a New York City weekend, Long Island City seems to be at the top. My boyfriend's brother has lived on this western edge of Queens for years and never fails to host a rooftop barbecue or game night to entice us over -- not to mention his three adorable dogs as well.
I think I enjoy this area for the same reasons I love my Upper West neighborhood. Both are quietly residential without straying far from the center of New York's vibrancy. This past weekend we took a short (but sweaty) walk to LIC's Gantry Plaza State Park overlooking Manhattan's eastern skyline. It is amazing how quickly this area has transformed from a warehouse-ridden industrial hub to every young professional's new sparkling home. The lure for outside visitors is not quite there yet, but there's no telling what Long Island City will become.

ReplyDeleteGantry Plaza State Park is actually really nice, when it's not humid out. I love setting up a picnic blanket there and just relaxing. The view is unbeatable too.
I agree! There were so many families out there just enjoying the view. :) Can't wait to go back!
DeleteThese photos are SO pretty especially with the city in the background. I heard NYC is having a heat wave this weekend. Hope you stay cool!!
