LIC-queens

The chatter continues regarding the growing tech startup atmosphere in Long Island City. LIC has much to offer that these companies find attractive – cheaper rents, large former industrial spaces for expansive offices, proximity to Manhattan, and beautiful city views during lunch. The desired hipness quotient when it comes to food and drink is also increasing (Sweetleaf and Alobar, for starters).

Regular tech meetups, organized by Coalition for Queens, take place in LIC, too. And Cornell’s applied-sciences campus will open on nearby Roosevelt Island in 2015. Bravo, all you early adopters (Songza, Digital Natives Group, Shapeways) – critical mass starts with you.
