Anable Basin is a 500 foot inlet cut into the East River shore in 1868 to serve the factories packed into Long Island City. In November 2018 Amazon named the land around it as the site of half its second headquarters, with a package of state and city incentives attached. Local and state opposition built through the winter, and in February 2019 the company cancelled the New York half of the plan.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
