Reply to comment by koreamax in Grocery Chain H Mart to Open Upper East Side Outpost by LouisSeize

everything on that strip of northern Blvd calls itself long island city. I don't know who's wrong, but it seems like one side of the street is Sunnyside, one side is Astoria, and the road itself is woodside.

I believe Astoria is also technically part of "long Island City'

I think it has something to do to how mail was delivered in queens before it became part of NYC. Flushing is another one that it both a 'town' and a large area encompassing other towns (like I think jamaica).

I think zip codes starts with 113 have mails come from one central flushing location. So bayside, fresh meadows, and others
