Restaurant space for lease in Woodside
Woodside sits east of Sunnyside where the elevated 7 train and the LIRR meet at 61st Street. Its restaurants and shops line Roosevelt Avenue under the 7, long home to Irish pubs and to the Filipino businesses of Little Manila around 69th Street, and Queens Boulevard to the south. Its largest commercial buildings are industrial: warehouses and distribution buildings along the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway north of Northern Boulevard, by St. Michael's Cemetery at the Astoria line, and a smaller group on 52nd Avenue next to Maspeth.

Owners of income-producing properties file a Real Property Income and Expense statement each year; gross income is everything a property collected in 2024 per square foot, as filed, with outlier and partial-year filers left out. It includes vacant space, concessions and older leases, so it is not an asking rent.

Neighborhood figures count places near the neighborhood's commercial core, the same area as the building figures on this page.

A new permit is either a new restaurant or a new operator taking over an existing one.

Liquor licenses in Woodside
How many places in Woodside can serve drinks, how many are waiting on a license, and whether a new full liquor license here would face the 500-foot rule: the first thing to check before leasing a space for a bar or a restaurant with a full bar.

The 500-foot rule in Woodside
A new full liquor license for drinking on site cannot be issued within 500 feet of three or more places that already hold one, unless the State Liquor Authority finds at a hearing that it is in the public interest (ABC Law, section 64). Here 7 of 12 full-liquor places have three or more others within 500 feet, so some blocks would need that hearing and others would not, so check the exact address. Beer and wine licenses are not subject to the rule.

Counted by license; business names are not shown. Neighborhood figures count places near the neighborhood's commercial core, the same area as the restaurant figures above. Only licenses to drink on site count: full liquor for restaurants, bars, hotels, clubs and similar places, and beer and wine. Stores, boats and second bars of a licensed place are left out. The 500-foot figures count each place once (one holding two licenses is one place) and only places with a map point; distances run between those points, while the law measures from the nearest entrances, so treat them as an estimate.

Owners of buildings with ground- or second-floor storefronts register each one every year with its status on December 31.

Questions about restaurant space in Woodside
Is there restaurant space for lease in Woodside right now?
No restaurant space for lease in Woodside is listed on Leasemark right now. Post what you need and Leasemark matches you the day a space that fits is listed; your contact details stay private until you accept an intro. Owners and brokers can list a space here for free.
How much does restaurant space cost in Woodside?
Leasemark has no asking rents posted here yet, so here are the city's own numbers. Retail buildings in Queens collected a median $36.08 per square foot in 2024, and the middle half between $24.11 and $54.28, according to the income and expense statements owners file with the NYC Department of Finance (FY 2027 distributions, 3,243 filings). The city publishes these figures by borough, so this is Queens as a whole, not Woodside alone. That is what buildings actually collected, with vacant space, concessions and leases signed years ago in the mix, so it is a baseline rather than a quote: a specific space's price depends on the building's class, floor, condition and the length of the lease.
How do I find restaurant space in Woodside that is not publicly listed?
Post a requirement on Leasemark. Owners and listing brokers see what you need (without your contact details) and can respond with spaces, including ones that are not on the market yet. You choose who gets an intro.

Does the 500-foot rule apply to a new liquor license in Woodside?
New York's 500-foot rule (Alcoholic Beverage Control Law, section 64) bars a new full liquor license for on-site drinking within 500 feet of three or more places that already hold one, unless the State Liquor Authority finds at a hearing that it is in the public interest. In the part of Woodside Leasemark covers, 7 of the 12 places with a full liquor license (58%) have three or more others within 500 feet, so some blocks would need that hearing and others would not, so check the exact address. A beer and wine license is not subject to the rule and does not count toward it. Distances here are between map points, so check the exact address before you sign a lease.
