No Fee Astoria Apartments
Established in the 1830s by hide merchant Stephan Halsey,
the area was named after John Jacob Astor, at that point the wealthiest man in
America, with the expectations of inducing him to contribute, which he didn't.
With the opening of a nearby piano manufacturing plant, Steinway and Sons
(which is still in operation today) in the 1870s, the group rapidly developed.
In 1920 the motion picture studio now known as The Kaufman Astoria Studios
opened its entryways; in 1988, the studio turned into the site of the Museum of
the Moving Image, which keeps on pulling in sightseers today.
In the 1970s the range saw a blast of migration from Greece,
and there is as yet an extensive Greek engraving on the group today, especially
on 31st Street, where the assortments of olives and olive oils in the clamoring
Greek bistros are excessively ample, making it impossible to tally.
Despite the fact that there's some level headed discussion
about the correct geological limits of Astoria, the approximately 3.5 square
miles of Queens fringes Long Island City on 36th Avenue and extends from the
East River to 49th Street.
Transportation to Manhattan is a breeze by taking the
hoisted N or W to Midtown, the R, V and G stop at Steinway Street, and the M60
transport makes for a simple drive to LaGuardia Airport. Transport to Harlem or
the Bronx is accomplished by essentially going over the Triborough Bridge.
Transport lines incorporate the 18, 19, 19A, 101, 102, 103, and 104.
