How to get there

N40° 44' 49.8732"W73° 57' 29.2716"
This image was taken on the northern half of Gantry Plaza State Park in Long Island City, Queens. I stood facing west, toward East River and Manhattan. If you see the Pepsi Cola sign, you're in the right area! By Subway: - Closest Station: Vernon Blvd/Jackson Ave (7 Train) - Take the 50th Ave exit on the southwest corner - Head north on Vernon Blvd toward on 50th Ave - Turn left on 47th Ave - Turn right and then walk along the path until you get to the water
