In this video, Candy and I show you the best things to do while you’re in LIC. Trader Joe's just opened up recently on June 25 as well, which is a popular addition to the expanding neighborhood!

Long Island City (LIC) is known for its gleaming high-rises with sweeping views of Manhattan. It is home to a 12-acre state park named Gantry Plaza State Park, located in a former dockyard and manufacturing district in the Hunters Point section of the neighborhood. LIC also houses an official landmark of NYC - a huge neon Pepsi-Cola sign that is visible from Manhattan and the East River. Innovative art galleries and performance spaces, as well as pockets of trendy bars and restaurants, appeal to those who visit one of NYC’s most exciting and fastest growing neighborhoods.
While Long Island City may be in a different borough and sounds far away, it is actually only three miles away by subway to Manhattan. You can even walk there across the Queensboro Bridge.
