    "We need better transit. We live at the end of the A line, which is the longest subway line in the City, that goes through Brooklyn then downtown Manhattan before going up to the Bronx. We need a direct line into midtown, or real rapid transit buses, otherwise LET US DRIVE!"

    " l live here 15 years (minus the 5 years I evacuated). I enjoy the water and seagulls. A very cozy town-an island - in between Howard Beach and Rockaway Beach. I found a dog cafe at 3101 Vernon Blvd, Long Island City where everyone drinks wine and eats as the dogs mingle. Forest Park has a nice dog run.... Friendly town where everyone says hello. ***** 5 stars"

    "Broad Channel is a small town in a big city (NYC). We are a small community on an island in the middle of Jamaica Bay with views of Manhattan. A third of the island is inhabited and the other two thirds are a national park."

    "I've lived in Broad Channel for 11 years and I feel like it's been my home forever! I love the small-town neighborhood feel. Kids run around like it's 1956, drop their bikes where they land , and pick them up later and continue to play! Neighbors are always watching out for neighbors and there's a real community camaraderie present. I love Broad Channel!"
