Clam Beds, a Movie House and a Railroad Depot
In the 1860s to 1890s, the small quahogs dug from the bay here ended up on restaurant tables in New York and in several European capitals. That is how littleneck became the trade name for a size of hard clam, wherever it was harvested.
The Little Neck Theater, a 576-seat movie house, opened in 1929 on Morgan Street and closed in 1983. The railroad arrived long before the cinema. The station house on the present site went up between February and May 1870, built by the Flushing and North Side Railroad.
The Station and Its Crossing
The station sits at Little Neck Parkway and 39th Road. It is the easternmost station inside New York City on the Port Washington Branch. The parkway meets the tracks at the only at-grade railroad crossing on that branch.
Pines, Hills and a Salt Marsh
Pines and Westmoreland are two of its three subsections, and the third is Little Neck Hills.
Udalls Cove is a salt marsh off the bay, one of the few remaining on the North Shore in the metropolitan area. Muskrats, egrets and herons live in its marshes and wetlands.
Consumption Rules at the Marsh
Udalls Cove is one of the shoreline parks that the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation administers in this part of Queens. NYC Parks rules ban smoking and vaping in city parks, beaches and pedestrian plazas. Consumption is best kept to private property.
