Adventurely Launches 'Work & Play the LIC Way' Campaign Showcasing Long Island City as NYC's Favorite Remote‑Work Escape
Created in collaboration with Long Island City Partnership, the initiative positions the neighborhood as a go‑to hub for blending productivity with leisure
LONG ISLAND CITY (QUEENS), NY, May 20, 2025 (EZ Newswire) -- Adventurely —a Techstars-backed platform for booking inspiring drop-in workspaces—has launched its first collection of NYC-based spaces, starting in Long Island City (LIC), NYC's fastest-growing neighborhood. The launch features eight new locations on the platform from Long Island City, each hosted by local businesses offering unique perks and amenities designed to help remote workers, freelancers, entrepreneurs, and business travelers cowork with ease while blending productivity and play.
All eight LIC spaces are live now at www.adventurely.app/longislandcity.
'Long Island City was the perfect spot to launch our NYC community. As a New Yorker who often travels in and out of the city, I appreciate how LIC is rooted in Queens—the most diverse county in the U.S., with local businesses that reflect the neighborhood's cultural depth,' said Mita Carriman, founder of Adventurely.
'It's a refreshing break from the hustle of Manhattan, while still offering the energy, creativity, and convenience remote workers and travelers are looking for. LIC is a community in motion, and I believe it's one of the most exciting places to explore in New York right now.'
Adventurely selected Long Island City for its mix of affordable hotels, vibrant arts scene, and easy access to Manhattan via excellent transportation. Working alongside Long Island City Partnership (LICP), Adventurely connected with local businesses to launch 'Work & Play the L.I.C. Way,' a campaign that positions LIC as the ideal remote-work escape for freelancers, entrepreneurs, and business travelers seeking a refreshing change of pace just one subway stop from Midtown Manhattan.
'Long Island City has everything today's remote workers are looking for—quick access to Manhattan, incredible cultural assets, and a growing roster of welcoming spots to plug in,' said Laura Rothrock, president, Long Island City Partnership.
'By collaborating with Adventurely on the 'Work & Play the L.I.C. Way' campaign, we're giving freelancers and business travelers a curated path to experience the neighborhood like locals, while driving new foot traffic to our small businesses and hospitality partners.'
Through the campaign, Adventurely is featuring a mix of traditional and unconventional workspaces—hotels, restaurants, cafés, and third places—across Long Island City, all bookable for day use and curated to help visitors balance work and play.
The featured locations include:
With more than 1.2 million remote workers and freelancers based in NYC, and over 12 million business travelers visiting each year, the campaign invites locals and travelers to explore Long Island City as a neighborhood where they can log on, be productive, grab a great meal, and experience a change of scenery, all in a single day.
Long Island City offers a quick workday getaway that still feels refreshingly different—combining laptop-friendly spaces with waterfront parks, restaurants, and cultural institutions.

Minnesota still has 17 Fortune 500 companies; UnitedHealth leapfrogs Apple
Minnesota still has 17 Fortune 500 companies; UnitedHealth leapfrogs Apple originally appeared on Bring Me The News. Minnesota is still home to 17 Fortune 500 companies despite some chopping and changing in the latest rankings. Fortune revealed its 2025 list, which ranks U.S.-based companies based on their 2024 revenue, on Monday, with UnitedHealth Group once against Minnesota's most valuable company. The Minnetonka-based health insurance giant moved up one spot to 3rd overall, behind only Walmart and Amazon, and ahead of tech leviathan Apple. The question is whether UnitedHealth remains in the spot next year following a turbulent start to 2025 for the company, which has seen the aftermath of the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, the resignation of UHG CEO Andrew Witty, a plunge in its stock price as it suspended its 2025 guidance, and news of an alleged DOJ investigation into possible Medicare Advantage fraud. Minnesota's second-highest ranked company, Target, dropped four spots to 41 on the 2025 Fortune 500 list, but has also experienced a difficult first half of the year. Its decision to abandon diversity programs in the wake of President Donald Trump's return to office leading to boycotts and contributing to a reduction in sales, while the ongoing trade war launched by the president leading it to reduce its full-year guidance. U.S. Bancorp rose slightly in the Fortune 500 after increasing revenue in 2024. Best Buy dropped, while CHS fell by 18 places after seeing revenue fall by 13.9% over the course of the year. Minnesota maintained its 17 companies despite Polaris dropping out of the top 500, with a 19.3% revenue decline seeing it fall to 508. It was replaced by Solventum, the new healthcare company spun off from 3M in April, which debuted at 462nd with a revenue of $8.2 billion. The loss of the healthcare business saw 3M fall by 41 places, with its revenue declining from $32.7 billion to $24.5 billion. Here's the list of Minnesota Fortune 500 companies, with revenues in parentheses: 3: UnitedHealth Group ($400.2 billion; last year 4th) 41: Target ($106.5 billion; last year 37th) 105: U.S. Bancorp ($42.7 billion; last year 107th) 108: Best Buy ($41.5 billion; last year 100th) 118: CHS ($39.7 billion; last year 97th) 175: 3M ($32.7 billion; last year 134th) 216: General Mills ($19.9 billion; last year 203th) 230: Ameriprise Financial ($17.9 billion; last year 254th) 233: C.H. Robinson ($17.7 billion; last year 233rd) 262: Land O'Lakes ($16.2 billion; last year 245th) 274: Ecolab ($15.7 billion; last year 269th) 319: Xcel Energy ($13.4 billion; last year 302nd) 352 Hormel Foods ($11.9 billion; last year 343rd) 388: Thrivent Financial for Lutherans ($10.9 billion; last year 405th) 462: Solventum ($8.2 billion; new entry) 464: Securian Financial Group ($8.2 billion; last year 462nd) 492: Fastenal ($7.54 billion; last year 488th) This story was originally reported by Bring Me The News on Jun 4, 2025, where it first appeared.
