Old Astoria
One thing that I think that most people miss is that Astoria has many old building dating back over 100 years. If you look closely you could see some of the hidden treasures of Astoria. Like this church I found during my walk in Astoria.

We stayed here on our most recent trip to New York. FREE hotel shuttle to/from LaGuardia airport and subway stop was very convenient. FREE coffee 24-hours, and FREE breakfast daily. Rooms were nice, but small by Marriott standards. Still, was ample room for us, and the rooms had a mini-refrigerator and microwave. Bed was very comfortable. Staff was very friendly, and provided us with walking directions to local restaurants and the post office.
Unique Quality: The immediate view from our 4th floor room was of the roof of the building next door; however, the further view showed the lights and buildings of the city and was lovely. Room was very quiet and comfortable. We used Marriott points to stay for free, but the regular cost of the room is less than $150/night, so for the convenience (20 minutes from Times Square by Subway), we would definitely stay here again.

Your best view of the great bridge is from Astoria Park, in Astoria, Queens. The bridge spans over 1017 feet between towers. Connecting New York City between the Pennsylvania and New Haven Railroad System between the New England States and the states lying west & south of the Hudson River.
Astoria is in the boro of Queens. Queens is one of the most diverse neighborhoods in NYC. Astoria has been known as a greek enclave so there are a good variety of greek restaurants to visit there. I took a historical tour of Astoria but I found some gems there. Unfortunately some of the architectural gems are private residences and are not open to the public but available either through a private tour group such as the historical society.
Astoria was founded by William Hallet and later, Stephen Alling Halsey, it was named for fur tycoon John Jacob Astor. Mansions were built for lumber and shipping magnates in the 1850s, many of which remain standing today. A ferry connected Astoria with 92nd Street in Manhattan between 1867 and the opening of the Triboro in the 1930s.
The most famous residents of Astoria are fictional characters from the CBS sticom of the 70's ALL IN THE FAMILY. The show in many ways personified the real NY of the time. I lived in Astoria for about 18 months and loved every minute, I have to say that I almost prefered it to Manhattan, which has gone to the dogs (so to speak).
