Garden City: Degree Programs in the New York City Area
Published: November, 2010In addition to easy access to New York, Garden City offers a thriving downtown of its own. Its downtown areas have benefited from new construction and renewal campaigns throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. Franklin Avenue, nicknamed the "Wall Street of Long Island," now boasts many banks and investment firms. The growing number of fine restaurants has given this area the additional nickname of "Restaurant Row."
Nearly 80 percent of Garden City residents commute to their jobs, in part because of the quick and convenient transportation to New York City through the Long Island Railroad. The largest employers in the New York metropolitan area include:
- Lincoln Hospital
- Merrill Lynch
- Mount Sinai Medical Center
- Quotemaster USA
- Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital
Garden City itself, and the New York area, are home to an impressive number of colleges and universities, offering both career and technical training and liberal arts degrees.
