This stop offers a glimpse into the vibrant history of East New York, the neighborhood's charm and a practical connection to the L train. As the MTA's proposed 14-mile light rail line continues its north-south journey from Jackson Heights to the Brooklyn Army Terminal, there is a historic neighborhood along the tracks that is going through a revitalization. That area is industrial East New York, a neighborhood poised to get an IBX stop on Sutter Avenue.
In the stretch of the Hudson Valley between New York City and Albany, there's a wealth of small towns that have the unique appeal of being both within easy driving distance to major cities while retaining a more rural, slow-paced charm. They range from New Paltz, New York's hippie town with a European-style shopping street, to the popular getaway of Hudson, a trendy small city called the "Downtown of Upstate."
