Not far from P.S. 1 (part 1 began here)(part 3 continues here) is the new Gantry State Park.

The waterfront area just behind the landmark Pepsi-Cola sign now sports gorgeous high rise apartments with waterfront views of Manhattan. Long Island City is a Queens neighborhood that has been built up from a pocket focused on industry. So far, two and a half acres along the East River waterfront are the beginning of this development project.

Enjoy the view with me.
