Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
Long Island City captures the unique flavor of a former city (18701898) nestled between Manhattan and Queens that retains its identity to this day. Created by consolidating Old Astoria Village, Steinway, Ravenswood, Dutch Kills, Blissville, Sunnyside, and the Long Island Rail Road terminal in Hunters Point, it has been an industrial dynamo since the Civil War. It is home to creative people and innovative ideas, the Steinway piano factory, the movie industry, the Information Age, and a growing list of museums and galleries. Minutes from midtown Manhattan, it is again a magnet for new generations seeking the charms of a small town with the advantages of a great city.

Long Island City October 30, 2005
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

This book, basically a pictorial, is truly a window into the past of this great and once thriving commerce center. If you are or were a resident of LIC, you'll be surprised by its rich and beautiful past. I think this book is also excellent for any new residents to the area as they will learn what a historical landmark Long Island City is. You also will get the feel of how the industrialization of Queens transformed this small communities tranquil settings into a concerte jungle of factories and warehouses. This book brings great memories of my childhood back to me.
