A Short Walk from Long Island City: Your Barbershop Across the Pulaski

Long Island City is closer to us than most people think. Newtown Creek is all that separates LIC from Greenpoint, and you can cross it on foot over the Pulaski Bridge or ride a single train line. If you work or live in LIC and want an old-school Italian barbershop with a modern hand, it is a short trip.
