Think of The Local as your New York home. We’re your best friend in New York but you get to sleep in stylish and clean bunk rooms instead of on our couch. Our fridge is always stocked, we always know what’s happening, and we’ve been waiting all year for your visit. We’re the newcomers to the edgy LIC neighborhood in Queens. Our skyline views are the best and we’re just a couple of subway stops from Manhattan and Brooklyn. Our neighbors are artists, gymrats, actors, and mechanics. The city never sleeps but sometimes we like to.
When you stay with us, you’re local
