Gas station

Gas stations are the unsung constants of urban life, especially in pockets of the city where transit gaps leave drivers searching for fuel. Gas station at 40-40 Crescent Street keeps Long Island City moving with diesel pumps and a propane exchange cage out front. The corner lot sits where the Queensboro Bridge’s shadow stretches across the avenue, a spot that sees steady traffic from commuters and delivery trucks alike.

Beyond the usual unleaded nozzles, the station offers a drive-through car wash that fits snugly between the pumps and the sidewalk. Propane tanks can be swapped while the tank is still warm, a convenience that saves weekend grill masters a separate trip. Diesel is clearly marked, so contractors and rideshare drivers can top off without second-guessing the nozzle.

For directions or to confirm whether the propane cage is stocked, pull up the map on your phone or dial 718-786-1234. If you’re heading east on the bridge, it’s the last fill-up before the tunnel—might as well grab a wash while you’re there.
