- Long Island City (LIC) is the westernmost residential and commercial neighborhood of the New York City borough of Queens. LIC is noted for its rapid and ongoing residential growth and gentrification, its waterfront parks, and its thriving arts community. LIC has among the highest concentration of art galleries, art institutions, and studio space of any neighborhood in New York City.
Long Island City was once home to many factories and bakeries, some of which are finding new uses. The former Silvercup bakery is now home to Silvercup Studios, which has produced notable works such as NBC's 30 Rock and HBO's Sex and the City. The Silvercup sign is visible from the IRT Flushing Line and BMT Astoria Line trains going into and out of Queensboro Plaza. The former Sunshine Bakery is now one of the buildings which houses LaGuardia Community College. Other buildings on the campus originally served as the location of the Ford Instrument Company, which was at one time a major producer of precision machines and devices. Artist Isamu Noguchi converted a photo-engraving plant into a workshop; the site is now the Noguchi Museum, a space dedicated to his work.
The Standard Motor Products headquarters, a manufacturing site producing items like distributor caps, was once located in the industrial neighborhood of Long Island City until purchased by Acuman Partners in 2008 for $40M. The Standard Motor Products Building was put on the market by Acuman in 2014 and acquired by RXR Realty, LLC for $110M. The former factory built in 1919 now houses the Jim Henson Company, Society Awards, and a commercial rooftop farm run by Brooklyn Grange.
High-rise housing is being built on a former Pepsi-Cola site on the East River. From June 2002 to September 2004, the former Swingline Staplers plant was the temporary headquarters of the Museum of Modern Art. Other former factories in Long Island City include Fisher Electronics and Chiclets Gum. Long Island City's turn-of-the-century district of residential towers, called Queens West, is located along the East River, just north of the LIRR's Long Island City Station. Redevelopment in Queens West reflects the intent to have the area as a major residential area in New York City, with its high-rise residences very close to public transportation, making it convenient for commuters to travel to Manhattan by ferry or subway. The first tower, the 42-floor Citylights, opened in 1998 with an elementary school at the base. Others have been completed since then and more are being planned or under construction.
Today, the most prominent structure, other than Queensboro Bridge, is the community's green skyscraper, the 658-foot (201 m) Citicorp Building built in 1989 on Courthouse Square. It is the tallest building on Long Island and in any of the New York City boroughs outside Manhattan. Socioeconomic diversity is very visible in Long Island City; the Queensbridge Houses are composed of over 3,000 units, making it the largest public housing complex in North America.
It is bordered by Astoria to the north; the East River to the west; Hazen Street, 49th Street, and New Calvary Cemetery in Sunnyside to the east; and Newtown Creek-which separates Queens from Greenpoint, Brooklyn-to the south. It originally was the seat of government of the Town of Newtown, and remains the largest neighborhood in Queens. The area is part of Queens Community Board 1, located north of the Queensboro Bridge and Queens Plaza; it is also of Queens Community Board 2 to the south.
Long Island City is the eastern terminus of the Queensboro Bridge, also known as the 59th Street Bridge, which is the only non-toll automotive route connecting Queens and Manhattan. Northwest of the bridge terminus are the Queensbridge Houses, a development of the New York City Housing Authority and the largest public housing complex in North America.

I absolutely love your video's. I'm currently disabled so your video's are a way for me too travel. I used to live in Queens NY. And this brings back memories. Thanks.
This is a great comment. Makes this whole project worth it! Sorry to hear about your situation but love that you can ride along and see these cities. Amazing what the internet has done for all of us. A big thank you for letting me know! :)
J Utah Your welcome.thanks again. I subscribed and looking at your other videos.
I live in Kings park New York
I enjoy how you stay a car length or two back so we can see the city rather than the back of a car. as always continuing to enjoy your videos.
Thanks Matthew! I love to hear feedback like this. Its very helpful :)
I just love riding along with you. I don't have a car or any ride to go anywhere being disabled. So these videos are a treat for me. TY for sharing them with us. Safe travels ahead for you. God bless
Nice video to relax on a holiday! Looking forward to your first europe videos! Thank you!
Must play Roxett, joyride while driving. Thanks for the city tour.
Great vídeo, we’re waiting for more in the some place in 2020!
cool city-a great country of respect for the people who live there
Nice drive enjoyed it
I enjoyed this video. Never been to New York but wanted to see it.
13:48 almost looks like that roads leads you straight up to the ESB. beautiful shot
Early beginning of u’r footage u passed Northern boulevard approaching Queens plaza subway station. Cool.
Its pretty interesting to see if you've never been there before! That was my first thought!
Watching this from 5pointzLIC that u passed in its construction phases. Crazy to see the before shots!!
I have definitely been to this part of Queens
great Video
Thank you
Cool town

Love these videos but i'm too early for 720 or 1080p lol.
Клёво! Спасибо
Looks pretty nice :)
God bless America love NYC
Nice place 👌 👍
I wouldn't even consider driving my own car through there... the roads are absolutely horrible
Nice trip 👍🏻 make it for New England and Canadian Maritime Provinces!
Wow, storage fox, I was just watching a bunch of fox videos, like Loki and Ron Ron! Also, Queens is easily the most underrated borough.
Staten Island is the most underrated.
Đẹp lắm bạn
Nice 👍! 🇧🇷.
What camera/mic setup do you use? I watch a few driving tour UA-camrs but the quality of your videos is in a league of its own.
Which camera do you use?
You should drive through Phoenix! I love the desert landscape.
Thank you J-Utah
I've seen a ton of movies and shows with scenes at that bridge system you drove under toward the beginning. I think the car chase in The French Connection was filmed around there and some scenes from The Blacklist, Blindspot, and Gotham have been as well. Looks like a pretty cool area despite the traffic.
Thats great to hear! While I was there they were filming at night on multiple streets. I think a few production companies are based out of LIC too. Very cool to hear what actual shows it is!
Yeah, those were just the ones I could think of from the top of my head. They're good shows too.
نيو يورك يعني عمل جديد اذا ستي نيويورك بيجي معناها مدينة العمل الجديد أو الأعمال الجديدة
That's New York Helmet !!

Feels like London
What kind of vehicle are u driving in NYC ?
its the endless apple!
Indeed very very big city
@@zachariawest421 It really is. It's funny, if you look on the map it seems so small, but when you're actually there it feels huge. Especially if you're walking.
Where I went to high school
Does anyone know about the ferry from Manhattan to long island city? Does it start from East 90th St ? How much does it cost? How can i pay for the ferry fare?
just take the bridges...they are free
Nicely done. The unfortunate street level scaffolding on so many buildings in NY is incredibly ugly. A solution should be found.
does anyone know that long island is an island
👍🏾👍🏾👏🏽👏🏽😃😃
😮😮😊😊
Cars. Cars everywhere. lol
14:24 😻😻😻
Long Island is in NewYork or Outside Of NewYork ??

Fli ROLLS ROYCE
YOU'LL FIND THAT MOST PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN ny LOOK 10 YEARS OLDER THAN THEY ARE BECAUSE OF THE CONSTANTLY DAILY STRESS OF SIMPLY GETTING TO WORK AND BACK AND MOST ARE OUT-OF-SHAPE SLOBBY TOO BUT YOU KINDA GOTTA GIVEM SOME SLACK BC YOU'RE SPENDING ~3 HOURS A DAY ROUNDTRIP JUST ON COMMUTING!
ستي نيويورك يعني مدينة نيويورك
residents of new york, is this a safe area?
At daytime it's safe I guess.. Even in Atlanta or Detroit it is unlikely that one will be gunned down in broad daylight in places where there is some presence of citizens.
At night isolated areas are risky anywhere....
Nice. But why in America people don't use motorsccoters ? Easy driving in traffic, no parking problem and cheap .
iSSO É QUE É UMA CIDADE DE VERDADE
Need for 720 and 1080
At first i can't justify that was real because i thought that was grand theft auto iv niko bellic house

Nobody is stopping you from going out and doing it yourself... so then the rest of us can say 'Do Terre Haute Indiana not this'.
He's done literally dozens of videos of L.A. Unless you mean Louisiana, which is what LA is the abbreviation for.
