Neighborhood Guide
Perhaps the most tantalizing feature of The Astor LIC is its incredibly convenient location at the intersection of Long Island City and Astoria, Queens. This laid-back, hyper-local neighborhood sits just Northeast of Queens Plaza, adjacent to the Kaufman Arts District and blocks from the official boundary of one of NYC's most authentic neighborhoods - Astoria.
Satisfy your appetite with eclectic local grub spots like the Café Ole, Backyard at the Paper Factory, the innovative LIC Flea market and an impressive rising craft microbrewery presence like the LIC Brewing Company. Then head to Sunswick Pub for some craft beer and live music, the more upscale gastropub Snowdonia, Studio Square beer hall for fun events, and even Steinway Billiards nearby.
