Queens, NYC

Astoria is a neighborhood in the northwestern corner of the borough of Queens in New York City. Located in Community Board 1, Astoria is bounded by the East River and is adjacent to three other Queens neighborhoods: Long Island City (bordering at Broadway), Sunnyside (bordering at Northern Boulevard), and Woodside (bordering at 50th Street). There is some debate as to what constitutes the geographic boundaries of Astoria. Traditionally, Broadway was the southern-most limit, however many residents and businesses south of Broadway identify themselves as Astorians for convenience, since Long Island City is considered to be a strictly industrial area. The eastern section of Astoria, with Steinway Street as its main thoroughfare, is sometimes referred to as "Steinway" and considered to be a separate neighborhood.
