Bayside (earlier Bay Side) is a station on the Long Island Rail Road's Port Washington Branch in the Bayside section of Queens in New York City. The station is located at 213th Street and 41st Avenue, off Bell Boulevard and just north of Northern Boulevard, and is 12.6 miles (20.3 km) from Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan. The station is part of CityTicket.
The station, along with the Port Washington line in general, is heavily used. During the 2005 New York City transit strike, the station had the distinction of being one of the few where trains actually stopped, bypassing lesser stations on the Port Washington branch such as Auburndale and Murray Hill.
