Learn more about Long Island City

Across the East River from Manhattan, this former industrial hub now buzzes with artistic energy. MoMA PS1 transforms a public school into cutting-edge exhibition spaces where contemporary art thrives. Gantry Plaza State Park offers front-row seats to the Manhattan skyline, with restored loading docks and piers creating perfect photo opportunities. The Noguchi Museum celebrates the sculptor's work in a serene setting he designed himself. SculptureCenter showcases experimental art in a former trolley repair shop. After gallery-hopping, refuel at one of the neighborhood's craft breweries or waterfront cafes. The 7 train provides quick access to Manhattan, though many visitors find themselves lingering to explore this rapidly evolving arts district.
