MARIOS & STEVE

The wedding and the dinner/dancing will take place at the Foundry, in Long Island City, NY. Long Island City is a waterfront neighborhood of Queens, just across the river from Manhattan. Its address is 42-38 Ninth Street, Long Island City, NY 11101.

The Foundry is a 19th Century building that housed The Albra Metal Foundry. Their logo is still visible on the corner of the building at 9th Street and 43rd Avenue. By 1906, it was one of several steel foundries in the Long Island City area that catered to the needs of New York City's riverfront manufacturers. It was purchased in the 1980s and restored and has been an event space since 2001.

We recommend driving or taking a taxi there and showing the taxi driver the map on the right of this page. At the Foundry, there will be a doorman who can call a cab for you at the end of the wedding.
