4/5 - Good
Verified traveller
A lot of construction going on in the general area so it's going to be more up market in the future.
4/5 - Good
Verified traveller
Can be a big grubby in parts, but generally nice and there's enough metro stations to make it convenient to get to Manhattan or elsewhere from most places around LIC.
3/5 - Okay

Subway train and people were friebdly in helping out with train traveling. Supermarket is different.
4/5 - Good
Verified traveller
Did not spend time in Long Island. It was very quiet, with some good convenience stores and fast food outlets. Access to New York was important to us more so than Long Island City itself. The walk across the bridge over the East River was worthwhile.
3/5 - Okay
Verified traveller
It's a factory district. There's nothing to do, nowhere to go, and no one on the street. So it was quiet and if you're looking to spend time in Manhattan and then just sleep in the hotel it's good enough.
