Long Island City

There's no question that Long Island City (LIC for those in the know...) is the cultural center of this incredibly vibrant borough. Only minutes away from midtown Manhattan, LIC boasts many fantastic museums, parks, restaurants, and an amazing array of affordable boutique hotels. Anyone with an eye for design should keep LIC at the top of their places to visit list, especially for those wanting something slightly "off" the grid.

In 1986, artist Mark di Suvero helped transform an abandoned landfill located right on the East River into a public park. This act of urban renewal has been a gift to LIC residents and visitors alike who are able to enjoy season-long outdoor sculptures, movie screenings, farmers markets on the weekend, and even free yoga. This tranquil place has been the site of numerous site-specific installations from artists around the world, helping to make this 4-acre site NYC's largest outdoor space dedicated to exhibiting sculpture.
