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.

For many years this area was a barren industrial wasteland, it has since been transformed into a world-class outdoor space with a soccer field, playground, dog run and more. Spend the day gazing romantically at the Manhattan skyline, and catch a movie at night at one of the summer's many free showings. If the inspiration strikes to travel to Brooklyn or Manhattan, you're steps away from the East River Ferry — the most exciting, affordable way to get around!
