Long Island City in Queens is an ideal walkable community. It has access to several New York subway lines, two NYC Ferry stations, and an LIRR station. It’s got a culture and art scene, plus the ultimate duo - a Trader Joe’s and a Target. Sadly it’s slowly pricing out a lot of people since it’s so desirable. Learn more about LIC in this video.

as a tourist I stayed in LIC once last year and plan on staying there twice this year. There are some nice hotels well connected to the subway, and by New York standards they are afforable

I love how much transport is around L.I.C.

I moved to LIC in 1986, it was nothing but warehouses and a few small apartment buildings. Then Citibank built the first skyscraper. I moved out in 1998 and across the street from where I lived, the vacant lot is now the 14 floor Hilton.

Great video! Used to live in LIC, it was a fun place to live even before before Trader Joe’s and Target. We got priced out of the neighborhood and moved further into Queens, it’s sad people are getting pushed further away by high rents. But love our new neighborhood too feels more like neighbors are open to getting to know each other. The lottery exists but it still requires two adults making good salaries to be “affordable” - if it’s still the same, you get priority if you work for the city (teacher, firefighter, etc). Don’t know if it’s still a problem but there were not sufficient school seats for all the kids coming into / being born into the neighborhood. If you have kids and are thinking of moving there, maybe visit some of the playgrounds and ask the locals about the schools.

As someone who works in the LIC Trader Joe's, I can confirm that all the residents here take full advantage of it, on some days its practically as busy as any of the Manhattan stores.

Side Note: Long Island City was a independent city in Queens County until 1898, when Long Island City (and the western half of Queens County} was annexed into New York City to become The Borough of Queens. The eastern half of Queens County became Nassau County in 1899.

Love your stuff keep making it. I can tell you are really passionate about the videos you make and you're doing a fantastic job. You managed to teach me a great deal about the subway system and the city I love so much. Your graphics are top notch too. I can tell that you're conscious of balancing breath and depth which is not an easy task. Get some Merch goining I'd buy some!!

LIC basically got started because of the LIRR (and the New York and Flushing RR, which eventually became the Port Washington Branch). Before there was any tunnel, every train went to Hunters Point and a ferry service took you the rest of the way to Manhattan. This was how all the railroads ran on LI until 1902. The place existed by and for the railroad customers.
