Stop the madness. LIC is ruined. Fire everyone in charge.
I gotta say I was driving around north of the Queensboro bridge the other day and all these small hotels are making a hash of the area. it’s like a hotel / warehouse / storage mishmash and the hotels do not add to the charm. kind of a waste of an opportunity to remake a neighborhood.
