For travelers who want to visit Manhattan and stay in a neighborhood filled with people from over 100 countries, we recommend to book an Airbnb in Astoria, NY.
Astoria is a neighborhood in Queens with a local feel that is completely different from Manhattan and its skyscraper-lined streets. It is very well-known for its multicultural community and its diverse range of delicious ethnic restaurant options. If you decide to rent an Airbnb in Astoria, NY, you’ll experience a melting pot of cultures where Greeks, North Africans, Indians, Pakistanis, and other nationalities live together and reflect the true flavor of New York City.
You’ll be able to travel the world in a single day through the different languages of people passing by, the restaurants you’ll eat at, and shops you’ll visit. Additionally, you might find cheaper solutions than typical Manhattan Airbnb rentals, and yet you’ll be just minutes away from downtown.
Astoria Park, situated alongside the East River, is the green oasis for this neighborhood and is the perfect spot to relax on a sunny day. It is most known for the largest (and oldest) pool in the entire city, but also has tennis courts, a running track, basketball courts, and playgrounds.
We think the ideal trip for our readers who want to travel to New York is a blend of fast-paced Manhattan with some time in an authentic, relaxed community with green spaces perfect for some yoga or a quick run. Therefore, we decided to look at Airbnbs in Astoria that are in the best strategic position, which is close to the subway lines to get you to Manhattan, but also near Astoria Park.
