Live in the heart of Long Island City, Hunters Point

WELCOME TO LONG ISLAND CITY

From the peaceful shady streets to the Hunters Point Historic District, a national historic district of red-brick brownstones from the late 19th century, this micro-hood holds a special appeal. It’s invitingly residential, while close to plentiful shopping and dining choices, and just two blocks from the waterfront.

And that’s perhaps best of all. The Alchemy is well situated near the East River, so that Gantry Plaza State Park — that amazing riverside retreat with playgrounds, fishing piers and running paths, along with Hunters Point South Park, is your backyard. The 11-acre Hunters Point South Park —considered a model of urban ecology and sustainable thinking — features a central green, playground, dog run, bikeway, waterside promenade with spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline, basketball court, and a 13,000 square foot pavilion with an elevated cafe plaza. It’s all outside your door!

Hunter’s Point offers a diverse slice of the LIC experience; the lively arts and cultural scene surrounds you here. Creative energy is on full display at the many fascinating museums nearby — including MoMA PS1 and the Noguchi Museum — along with galleries, restaurants, and nightlife to entice you.

The dining scene here continues to grow and expand. From casual cafes to acclaimed Michelin-starred establishments, flavors and tastes converge. Go-to spots not to be missed include the renowned Casa Enrique, which continues to wow diners with inspired southern Mexican cuisine; the of-the-moment Little Banchan Shop, a posh Korean specialty foods shop, and the attached eight-table omakase spot Meju, from acclaimed restaurateur Hooni Kim; also Takumen, a casual Izakaya-style Japanese gastropub. Plus 51st Bakery & Café, another standout that merges American home cooking with rustic French and Italian fare, and so much more. In fact, Chef Faye Hess’ chocolate chip cookie is considered among the best in NYC!
