Long Island City

Score Breakdown

About this Neighborhood

The Long Island City (New York) card resolves to the same geographic center as its Queens-labeled counterpart — a quirk of how LIC sits at the borough boundary and gets queried both ways. The underlying data is nearly identical: 80 restaurants anchored by Skinny's Cantina, Bierocracy, and Saang; 22 coffee shops led by Sweetleaf (two locations) and 51st Bakery & Cafe; 15 grocery options including Food Cellar & Co Market and Natural Frontier Market. Gantry Plaza State Park dominates the parks category with its East River waterfront access. Movement LIC and Hinds Combat Sports anchor the fitness layer. Social glue at 70 and a maxed digital nomad score tell the story of a neighborhood where remote workers are the demographic growth story, not the exception. The slight gap between this card and its Queens twin comes from a marginally different cohort comparison — the 'New York' query gets benchmarked against a broader urban cohort, where LIC's 80 restaurants look even more in-line.
