Long Island City makes a cameo in the new Grand Theft Auto scenescape
It’s not really the pinnacle a neighborhood dreams of achieving, if neighborhoods do dream at all - but aptly categorized as an ‘Oddity’ is the news that Long Island City makes an appearance in the new Grand Theft Auto releasing on April 29th. The new release is based off NYC, which is called ‘Liberty City’, and Queens, which is called ‘Dukes’ features a very familiar looking sign for a drink called ‘Sprunk’.
