Long Island City: Art and High-Rises on the Queens Waterfront
Long Island City in Queens offers modern high-rises and artistic gems like MoMA PS1.
Long Island City, in Queens, is an emerging neighborhood of modern high-rises, art galleries, and waterfront parks, served by the 7, E, G, M, and R trains.
Its best-known attraction is MoMA PS1, one of the country's leading contemporary-art spaces, housed in a former public school building from 1892 and open since 1976.
