Gotham Point Luxury Rentals are the perfect launching pad for your springtime adventures. Located in the western tip of Queens, LIC holds so much opportunity. Here is a list of exciting things to explore in Long Island City in April:
Gantry Park, located only a couple of blocks away from Gotham Point Luxury Rentals, hosts its annual Easter egg hunt and festival on Saturday April 8th with time slots between 10am-12pm divided by age. An event by and for the neighborhood, this is a great event to bring the community together. And who says the kids get to have all the fun?
