Astoria

Astoria sits in northwest Queens, just across the East River from Midtown Manhattan, and blends a relaxed residential feel with lively dining streets. Visitors come for the Museum of the Moving Image, Kaufman Astoria Studios, Astoria Park with its river views and track, and the bustling corridors of Steinway Street, Broadway, 30th Avenue, and Ditmars Boulevard.

Traffic is steady and can be busy near commercial blocks and the park, and the toughest spots to find a space are around Ditmars Boulevard, Steinway Street, and Astoria Park during peak hours. Street options include metered spaces and residential blocks subject to alternate side rules, while private garages and lots cluster near major avenues and subway stations, so booking parking in Astoria in advance helps avoid circling and saves time. Always review current regulations and official sources before you go to ensure you have the latest rules and rates.
