It’s crazy how LIC has changed. I am from Queensbridge Projects. The LIC I remember was all grass and weeds. None of the apt buildings were there. Wow.
Long Island City.... The area I've pretty much always stayed in during my two previous visits to NYC... Specifically the Local NYC, one of my favourite hostels. Perfectly nestled between Manhattan and JFK airport
Fun fact, Long Island City was it’s own city before it merge with the greater New York City. As with Queens and rest of Long Island, people put their locality as their address, not NY, NY or Long Island. Never been to the shoreline. I had to visit now.
How could you take a tour through LIC and not mention Queensbridge housing? The largest housing projects in the world, breeding ground to hip hop legends, most notably Nas.
Also, Queens and Brooklyn are technically both part of Long Island. Which is part of the reason why the LI Railroad runs through both boroughs, one of LI University main campuses is in Brooklyn and Long Island Exwy runs through Queens.
Hey how are you doing do you know that in Long Island they got these new two buildings that is made and they’re taking applications you can pay up to $300 for a one living room and kitchen is high class is heavy duty then you can get a two bedroom three bedroom and you can pay up to $500 you can pay up to depending your income so if you get like a SSI check or municipal welfare or something you can get an apartment in that building cheap don’t tell nobody is a secret it’s just go get yourself a nice apartment cheap in Long Island do you want me to send you the video and then you go again you can call them and yo I’ll send you the video how can I send you I can get you the phone number and it’s in Long Island is a new building they just bill is from the housing a new high-rise you pay let’s say you make $300 a week and you you can only afford to pay $300 $400 so that’s what you’re going to pay and a beautiful high rise and you get a beautiful deck parking lot I don’t know what else to do I know they have a pool or anything
I can describe L.I city in two phrases - midtown levels of expensive around - awful cellular/ LTE reception at least around queens-borough side of it what i noticed when crossing on the 7 train
Long Island I want to know about Long Island is it safe to live there is it ratchet is it ghetto is it OK is it high class what is it can you do a walk-through Long Island
Sweet vid! Here are some of my favourite spots in my stomping grounds: John Brown's Serious Smokehouse - right near LIC Cliffs on 44th Dr -awesome BBQ with an outdoors beer-garden behind The Creek and Cave -comedy club (usually free w/ music and open mic) on 2 floors with a Mexican restaurant (ehh) and outdoors chill spot The Gutter -huge chill bar with a bowling alley in back. Great vibes, on 46th Ave Anable Basin Sailing Bar and Grill -outdoors bar and grill with the best view of Manhattan Fifth Hammer Brewing Company -brewery right next to The Gutter bar. Great selection of beers The Local - 44th Ave -hostel with a cafe and rooftop Big aLICe Brewing -brewery off the beaten path Cheers!
Welcome to my boro!! Great video! You should check out other parts of LIC on warmer months, you went when it's usually dead. Gantry Park is where we go to see the Macy's 4th of July Fireworks!
One spot, since you mentioned the film industry, in LIC is Silvercup Studios (you could've even taken a video from the 7 train as it runs alongside at one point). A huge number of current shows are still filmed there.
And yes, the Court house is still in function, I think mostly as offices for the Court system. www.courts.state.ny.us/courts/11jd/supreme/civilterm/civildirections.shtml
140th view, 22nd like and 25th comment. Hello Tal! Super to see you! To bad they don’t have a Peter Parker landmark! Metropolis IL has a statue of Superman. Just saying. 😸😹❤️
Was gonna book our hotel in Long Island City, it was gonna run $296/night the week of Xmas. After seeing this video, I think we will look for somewhere else. Would love a recommendation if you have one. We will be staying 9 nights.
My favorite place. Maiella, a casually elegant restaurant located in the picturesque waterfront section of Long Island City, New York. Almost moved to LIC when I worked at LGA.
Queensboro Bridge connects Queens to Manhattan, not Roosevelt Island. I can see how you can make the mistake because the Bridge actual goes over part of the Island. There's a smaller bridge on Vernon Blvd that connects Queens to Roosevelt Island.
@@TheTravelingClatt long island city was a different place back then, those areas that wear you was at u could never walk freely without getting rob people would take your shoes and your jacket.
My daughter and her bf (from Finland) arrived there yesterday. Haven't got any pics yet so i had to come and check t out for myself on yt. Thanks for the vid! Really good.
when most people think of long island. they just think of Nassau and Suffolk counties. Brooklyn and queen are on the same island. queens eastern border is with Nassau county. before queen became part of the city. all of Nassau county was a part of queens before its towns separated and became Nassau county. during that time long island city was its only own city. and like back then like today is the western point of the island
There’s a great little bar/restaurant next to the court square station I forgot the name of it...me and my class mates used to go there after we’d finish classes up at LaGuardia
My mother and I used to walk my sister to school from 44th Dr to St. Mary's Catholic school. My parents were very involved in the church activities in the 60's. I went to PS 76 for four months before they moved us to Long Island from LIC when I was 6 and I have never forgiven them! Any old school parishioners will remember Father Murphy, Father Logato, Sister Constantine, Sister Rita, etc.
Very inaccurate tour. The pink sculpture called the "Sun Bather" is not from the Sculpture Center. It's called the Court Square Park, yes the fountain still works, LIC is one of the most expensive parts of NYC (even more so than some parts of Manhattan), not a continuation of Moma, it was once a school created by the last Mayor of LIC when LIC was not a part of Greater New York City
Nice area Tal, not Chinatown nice but still, thanks for the share. I'm on a roadtrip tomorrow, I'll DM you a pic on Instagram with a bit of nostalgia for you 😁
hahahaha! It's been awhile since my last viewing. How goes everything. It seems the videos are still going on. Plenty of them for me to catch up on. haha. Good reviews of the places. Just love it. :D
Long Island City is without a doubt one of my favourite NYC spots. Especially that waterfront!
It's definitely unique!
It’s crazy how LIC has changed. I am from Queensbridge Projects. The LIC I remember was all grass and weeds. None of the apt buildings were there. Wow.
Fun fact is that Brooklyn and Queens are technically part of Long Island. As much as us natives don’t wanna admit it 🤣
Yes! Well I don't care since I'm not here BRING IT ON LONG ISLANS
You can’t get to Roosevelt Island via the Queensboro Bridge though - there’s a separate bridge you take to get there
Go to 36 Avenue to the bridge
Facts.. Listen to him you might get lost or beat up. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
stop criticizing, you show your video and criticize the Pepsi Cola sign.....and go to the barber.....!!!!!

Hi, was it safe?
@@littlecookingtips yes absolutely. Very nice and peaceful
@@MattNav Thanx so much! We appreciate it!

Damn that's very cool to know!
I like the looks of this area looks clean
Very clean!
Lots & lots of big fat rats
I was born & raised in LIC & while it is beautiful out there it’s gotten too gentrified & too congested!
How u get there??
I'm a big LIC fan... i don't go enough in fact.
Yup it's a nice spot

I went to High School there. The Lunchroom had the a dope view of the city 🤧
Awesome vid . Been to New York twice and don’t know about half the places you mentioned . Definitely going to check out next time I’m in NYC.
Yeah you definitely should!

You shoulda hit Something Catchy in ravenswood. Or sweet chick. Learned a lot tho. QGTM!
Always Shopping, Traveling, Eat and Drink, Fireworks

Come and visit Massa’s coal fired pizzeria and bar at 42-12 28th street LIC!
I can describe L.I city in two phrases
- midtown levels of expensive around

Did you say that’s where Long Island begins? Where are you from?

Much appreciated for your efforts this was such a helpful video
Great food cart in that Court State Park - Burmese Bites. Caught a quick glimpse of the green cart on the right
Mmmm sounds delish
Clatt please stay in Brooklyn.
Man i need to meet up with you to on some of your adventures
Definitely

Glad to be hear and thank you!
@@TheTravelingClatt but they moved it to Brooklyn Bridge this year.
One of the least interesting areas but I have to say the ‘Flea Food’ sign made me feel a bit nauseous!
Hahahaha! I kinda agree

I’ve never been to queens. Would love to go. Just need a reason haha
U gotta!
Apply at IPS 😂👍

LIC has so many breweries
So many!

Are you going to go to EVERY neighborhood in the NYC. Not just the more populated neighborhoods of the boroughs but ALL of them? That be cool
This may sound like a stupid question, but I'm curious...is Long Island, NY and Long Island city, one in the same?
No and it's confusing and I don't totally understand it haha

You can't take the Queenboro Bridge to Roosevelt Island
