Long Island City

Stay in soulful Long Island City, 10 minutes from Midtown Manhattan

Just 15 minutes from northernmost Brooklyn and a few blocks walk from the nightlife of Astoria, The Collective Paper Factory is perfectly placed for city discovery. From suave restaurants and cute coffee shops to no nonsense breweries and street food vans; Long Island City is a melting pot of cultures. Visit museums filled with contemporary art; walk the Queensboro bridge into Manhattan; or cycle along the river to Gantry State Park and beyond.
