Event staffing & team building
in Long Island City.
Long Island City (LIC) is Manhattan-adjacent waterfront Queens — one subway stop from Grand Central, operationally part of our Manhattan dispatch, and increasingly home to media-and-tech corporate campuses (JetBlue HQ, MoMA PS1, the Citigroup tower). The Hunter's Point South / Gantry State Park waterfront drives a heavy summer brand-activation calendar, and the LIC warehouse-format venues anchor a real experiential pop-up run. We staff brand ambassadors and lead-capture for Gantry Park activations, hospitality crews for MoMA PS1 Warm Up summer series and gallery events, demo teams for JetBlue HQ partner days, and warehouse-pop-up crews for LIC creative venues. Bilingual EN/ES with strong Mandarin coverage. All staff are 100% W-2.

Questions buyers ask us about Long Island City.
Do you staff Manhattan from LIC dispatch?+
Yes — LIC is operationally part of our New York metro dispatch. Subway commute logistics are baked into call times, and for Manhattan events the LIC roster is often a faster, leaner option than dispatching from Brooklyn or the Bronx.
Can you staff MoMA PS1 Warm Up and Gantry Park summer activations?+
Yes — MoMA PS1 Warm Up summer series and Gantry Park / Hunter's Point South summer programming are routine. Captains brief on NYC Parks permitting and outdoor crowd-flow patterns.
Do you handle COIs for LIC venues and waterfront parks?+
Yes — comprehensive general liability with workers' comp and auto. COI named to the venue, your client, NYC Parks (for state / city parks), and any building landlord as fast as the underwriter allows.
Are your LIC staff bilingual?+
Yes — about 50% of the LIC / Queens roster is bilingual or trilingual. Strongest pools in Spanish, Mandarin, Korean, and Bengali.
