>> "For those unfamiliar, Long Island City is across the East River directly east of Upper East Side in Manhattan."

This doesn't really help if you're not familiar with NYC geography...

I had to check Google Maps. It's across the river southeast of all the famous stuff in movies.

Fair - I think when people think of Queens they think JFK airport, which is 60-90m away from Manhattan with some traffic. Point is LIC is about as close as Queen gets to Manhattan and Brooklyn, which have traditionally been more desirable boroughs to live in.
