Steinway Street

Steinway Street is known as "The World's Longest Department Store". The approximate one-mile stretch between 28th Avenue and 35th avenue was known through most of the 20th Century for its variety of unique shops and boutiques. Recently, regional chains have moved in and taken over most of the storefronts.
