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!

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.

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.
