LONG ISLAND CITY, Queens — New Yorkers took to the streets Saturday in Long Island City for the Queens neighborhood's sixth annual LIC Springs! block party and street fair.

"I think it's amazing," said resident Jermaine Miller. "Long Island City has come a long way from what we've known of years ago, and it's continued to change, grow, and develop. It's a great place to be," he added.
