Jane’s Walk NYC 2026: What's Old Is New Again: Exploring Long Island City's Past (May 3)
05/03/2026 03:00 PM - 04:00 PM ET
Admission
- Free
Summary
How much history can a "new" neighborhood hold? More than you'd think. Everyone knows Long Island City as one of NYC's fastest-growing neighborhoods, but scratch the surface and you'll find a rich history hiding in plain sight.
During this in-person, guided group walk, we'll start on the steps of a 150-year-old courthouse, take in some remnants of the old subway system, and check out some underappreciated row houses. We'll also learn the beefy backstory of who purchased the land that would become Murray Park, before finishing at what many consider one of the city’s finest examples of adaptive reuse. My grandmother always said this neighborhood had the best views in the city, come see if she was right.
