Neighborhood Profile

Sunnyside is one of the major "gateway" neighborhoods and as such, it is very heavily trafficked with cars going to and from Manhattan. Congestion and lack of parking are two perennial concerns.

Just like neighboring Woodside, Sunnyside used to be predominantly Irish. Nowadays it houses a more diverse mix with many New Yorkers of South American, Asian and Eastern European origin calling home.
