The view from the park

Gantry Park is actually a state park that is located on the Queens side of the East River in the neighborhood known as Long Island City. This was a docking yard for freight train cars that wee then added to trains of the old Long Island railroad. The area is super gentrified now with so many high rise that it seems like Manhattan. The park is a lovely site to see the skyline since it's located across from midtown.
