Dining, Entertainment & Shopping

Dining in Long Island City provides many options as it is located in one of the most culinary diverse boroughs. When you reserve a table at M. Wells Steakhouse you can enjoy a duck leg or a juicy New York strip. If local Mexican cuisine is what you desire, hotspot Casa Enrique has been voted best authentic cuisine six years in a row. You can order from the taqueria bar for the most mouthwatering options. The elegant, picturesque views from Maiella are a cherry on top of their famous Garganelli Bolognese entree. It’s a perfect date night spot.  
 
Long Island City locals love to visit Fifth Hammer Brewing on Tuesday or Thursday nights for a live band and fresh-brewed beer. Make sure to try Frostline, a 7% hoppy red ale with a touch of crystal rye malt.
 
MoMA PS1 encompasses modern ingenuity with contemporary style, all while showcasing “thought-provoking art”. MoMA PS1 is a local non-profit arts center where you can view their work in person or through their Bloomberg Connects App. It gives a “virtual reality” tour of all the art pieces allowing your mind to wander on the artist’s creations though the pictures don’t do it justice.
 

Things to Do

Historic landmarks can easily be found in the restored gantries at Gantry Plaza State Park. Adding to the beautiful views from Maiella, this restaurant can be found on the outskirts of the state park. 
 
There’s also the famous Pepsi Cola sign. If you haven’t seen it in person, you need to! It has become an official New York City Landmark. 

Hunter’s Point South Park used to be an industrial building, but now it is a green space with basketball courts, bike walks, dog parks, and a beautiful view of the rich Manhattan skyline. Long Island City used to be filled with industrial buildings, now it offers a landmark in time with a timeless feel. Murray Park has the best dog parks and has a full turf field for watching or playing sports.
