What do you call the sweet spot between Astoria & LIC?
Ok kids. It’s been a great first couple weeks of blogging. Thanks for the great response… I feel so warm and fuzzy.
Have you ever been to ASLIC? Trust me, the name fits. At least until the hotels arrive…
How about DuKi?
How about Dutch Kills????
AS(s)LIC(k) is supposed to sound wack. It’s an area so down under the radar that nothing is happening. Plus their are an appropriate number of discount stores in the area to match the number of bad restaurants.
If you tell someone you live in Dutch Kills they will assume you live way far out in Queens. Since most everyone knows nothing about Queens except for Astoria and Long Island City at least you are giving them an accurate mental description of where it might be.
Some of it is Dutch Kills, some Ravenswood… maybe Queensbridge is a separate place too.
Astoria was part of Long Island City, too… for some reason it gets to be its own thing now, for whatever reason.
Check out the new book Neighborhoods of Queens that has good nabe boundary maps.
Also, Dutch Kills and Ravenswood are part of LIC (sub-nabes). As is Hunters Point. Court Square area is a part of Hunters Point and I believe Queens Plaza is as well. Sunnyside was once part of Long Island City and also somehow gets to be its own deal now. It’s all too ridiculous.
And don’t forget about Blissville!
WHY DON’T YOU FUCKING OUTSIDERS CALL THEM BY THEIR REAL NAMES. STOP TRYING SO HARD.
ASLIC sounds wack. how bout eQB (east of queensbridge) or NoQ or NoQP (north of queensboro plaza) or DuK (dutch kills)
