In the kitchen, LED pin lights set below, white high-gloss cabinetry reflect off a sparkling expanse of quartz countertops fitted out with Bertazonni appliances in brushed stainless steel. Complimenting the conveniences of this culinary refuge is a built-in Blomberg washer/dryer stack.
The meticulous attention to craftsmanship and detail continues into the bathrooms. Tiled throughout in white porcelain, these private oases boast deep-soak tubs by Kohler, Delta's signature "rain" shower heads, and "floating" white vanities complete with LED-lit cabinets.
Flow House is located in the heart of Long Island City a stone's throw from beloved neighborhood bars, cafes, and restaurants, with the 7, N and W trains a block away, and the E, M, and R trains just another three blocks - you simply won't find a more convenient residential address. And thanks to cultural cornerstones like MoMA PS1 and restaurants including Chef Cosme Aguilar's Michelin-starred Casa Enrique and the acclaimed Mu Ramen (which serves New York Times critic Pete Wells' favorite bowl of ramen), an evening on the town is just steps from your door. For the more contemplative, a short walk to the riverfront brings you to the hideaways of Gantry Plaza State Park and Hunter's Point South Park.
Pet friendly!!!
Quick Profile
Long Island City, the name does sound a little far away, like it requires a lengthy drive to get to. Think, again. Long Island City, also known as LIC, is nestled in the western corner of Queens along the East River. Midtown Manhattan is closer to Long Island City than it is to downtown Manhattan.
LIC is bordered by Sunnyside to the east, the East River to the west, Astoria to the north, and Newton Creek which separates Queens from Greenpoint Brooklyn to the south.
A once-shabby manufacturing epicenter, the neighborhood is a mix of industrial, commercial and residential. In recent years it’s seen a rise in some seriously cool factors. Populated by young professionals, multi-ethnic immigrants, and hipsters, LIC has a happening nightlife scene, fantastic restaurants (some of them Michelin starred), art museums and galleries. Much of the waterfront access has been redeveloped into sustainable public green spaces with modern design.
Although much of the industrial / manufacturing companies have since left LIC, many still reside there. They tend to co-exist with new residential building development the same way they do in other neighborhoods like Williamsburg and Greenpoint.
Office building developers and business tenants play a vital role in LIC too. It’s considered New York City’s fourth central business district next to Midtown, downtown Manhattan and downtown Brooklyn.
As you traverse the streets of LIC, you’ll notice the change from block to block. Industrial warehouses on one block, a bustling Main Street, followed by a park block with sleek luxury high-rise buildings. It’s all part of the LIC vibe.
For a small neighborhood, the transportation links are excellent. For starters, you just can’t beat living one subway stop from Manhattan (7 train). Other train lines include E, M, R, N, Q, and the G lines. There are also less conventional methods of transportation like the NYC Ferry, which offers three ferry landings. There is no shortage of CitiBike’s in LIC either. Many folks commute to work by way of cycling over the Queensboro Bridge.
