Historical Architecture
Long Island City was a city in the 1800s and was a cluster of areas such as Steinway and Sunnyside until 1898. The city's independence was surrendered in 1898 to became part of the Greater New York City area. The former city has now modernized, turning factories and bakeries into studios for arts and media, while also advancing in technology. The once Silvercup Bakery is now home to the Silvercup Studios, which produced the television sensational - The Sopranos.
