Sightseeing

Easily walk or take a CitiBike. The 7 train is on other side of bridge, if you’d rather take the scenic route on the way to Manhattan, Grand Central is 1 stop from the 7 train. Go across the Pulaski Bridge and enjoy the views! It’s about an 8 minute walk across. End the walk across in Long Island City, I’d enjoy a “ Voodoo Child” at Sweatleaf Coffee shop :)

Coffee shop

Good coffee shop to get your work done. This place is known to some as the coffee shop in “Girls” however it’s also just a good spot to enjoy coffee and meet ;). *wifi available

Dogs allowed :) Awesome staff and good tunes. Personal favorite is the iced cococano (americano with coconut water instead of water). Next to G train. Be aware not a lot of seating space, this place is best as a quick stop.
