Sunnyside is a vibrant and verdant neighborhood in western Queens, bordered to the West by Long Island City and the Sunnyside Yard and to East by Woodside.

Perhaps most recognized by its soaring Art Deco “Sunnyside” sign just south of the 46th St-Bliss St. station on the 7 train, the name Sunnyside originates from a French Huguenot family named the Bragaws, who named their estate “Sunnyside Hill.” With the construction of the Queensboro Bridge, Sunnyside transformed from a community of farms to a commuter town.

Today, Sunnyside mixes old and new, with historic Art Deco and Victorian properties alongside modern developments.
