Garden City is conveniently accessible from almost anywhere. Centrally located in Nassau County, Garden City is an easy drive from the Long Island Expressway, the Northern State, Southern State and Meadowbrook Parkways. For commuters and visitors alike, there are six Long Island Railroad (LIRR) stops and two lines within the Incorporated Village. The village is also adjacent to the Mineola train station on the main LIRR line from Manhattan, connecting all points of Long Island. Garden City is just a half-hour drive to JFK and LaGuardia airports for non-stop flights to anywhere in the world. And Long Island's Islip-MacArthur Airport is only 45 minutes away.
Franklin Avenue, the main thoroughfare of the Garden City business district, is home to national department stores such as Lord & Taylor and Sears; and specialty retailers like H.L. Gross & Brothers Jewelers and Barbatsuly Furs. Major corporations such as Bookspan and TDK Electronics have located their corporate headquarters here and financial service companies like Merrill Lynch, Smith Barney, Charles Schwab, Fidelity Investments, Janney Montgomery Scott, Wachovia Securities and A.G. Edwards have located their largest Long Island branches along this important thoroughfare.
On intersecting Seventh Street, the village's community shopping center, specialty shops and services abound along with gourmet restaurants, financial and medical services. Here, business and recreational travelers from around the world relax in comfort and conduct business at the four-star, five-diamond, 280-room Garden City Hotel, which has long reflected Garden City's reputation as Long Island's most prestigious business and residential community.
Combine all of the above with Garden City's proximity to the Nassau County Seat, NY Supreme Court, Nassau County courts and its incredible list of municipal services, ranging from free business garbage pickup to over 10,000 unmetered parking spaces, and you have a recipe for business success. It all adds up to Garden City being the premier Long Island address in which to locate and grow.
