Long Island City – New York’s Other City

Janes Walk

Led By Robert Singleton, Greater Astoria Historical Society, and Charles Yu, LIC Partnership AND Charles Yu, Executive Director, Greater Astoria Historical Society

To paraphrase Ms. Jacobs “(If) a neighborhood shows an ability to update itself, enliven itself, repair itself, or be sought after, out of choice, by a new generation,- it is alive.” A perfect description for Long Island City today!

From colonial tide mills to the one time heart of American industry, LIC remains the ‘Cradle of Creativity.’ Walk past quaint blocks, gleaming towers, monuments to industry, art’s cutting edge. Long Island City never disappoints!
