Hollywood East (Astoria; Long Island City)
The Silvercup Studios (in Long Island City) and the Kaufman Astoria Studios have had some dub that Queens area "Hollywood East."

In 1983, the brothers converted what had been the Silvercup Bread Bakery into a television and movie studio. Since then films such as "When Harry Met Sally," Broadway Danny Rose, "Ransom," and "Private Parts" have been filmed at Silvercup studios, as well as HBO's "The Sopranos," and "Sex and the City."
Along with Kaufman Astoria Studios, which is home to "Cosby" and "Sesame Street," and arguably where the American film industry began, Silvercup and several other smaller studios have helped transform Queens into Hollywood East.
