Located in northwest Queens, one of the five boroughs of New York City, Astoria is situated a mere six miles across the East River from Manhattan. Lively and welcoming, down-to-earth and diverse, Astoria provides varied culinary options, great shopping, and relatively quiet residential streets.

Astoria has a rich history and has made great contributions to American culture. Home to Kaufman Astoria Studios, the original home of Paramount Pictures in 1920, the neighborhood was at the forefront of the motion picture industry. Today, the studio is one of the largest and most sophisticated production facilities on the East Coast. Steinway and Sons has been constructing its legendary pianos in Astoria since the late 19th century. The neighborhood has often been featured in film, television, and other media, either as Astoria or as a setting for another location in New York City.
