It is bordered on the north by [[Dukes Bay]]; to the west by Franklin Street (the [[Humboldt River]]); to the south by the [[East Borough Bridge]], Harrison Street, and Morris Street and to the southeast by Yorktown Avenue ([[East Island City]]); and to the east by Dukes Boulevard, Hewes Street, and the [[Dukes Bay Bridge]] ([[Meadows Park]]). | |||
==Character== | |||
Steinway is a heavily urbanized area with copious amount of parkland. [[Steinway Park]] takes up the entire western portion of the neighborhood (from Concord Avenue to Franklin Street/the Humboldt River). | |||
The area is heavily influenced by Irish architecture; with most of the homes in Steinway resembling middle-class terraced homes found in the real world cities such as Belfast. Steinway Park is linked to [[Dukes Park]] in [[East Island City]] through the Humboldt River promenade; this path tunnels underneath East Island City. All of the land north of [[Dukes Drive]] is also reserved as greenspace known as [[Gantry Park]], and a cemetery. Central Steinway is home to a slew of houses, complete with their own garages and small back gardens, as well as a few apartment buildings, and the [[Steinway Beer Garden]]. Finally, the only projects in [[Dukes]] can be found in the eastern area of the neighborhood. | |||
Steinway is the territory of the [[Irish-American Killers]], which walk around at night armed with guns and fight, if they are attacked. | |||
