Queens Plaza sits where the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge, open since June 18, 1909, comes down into Queens, with Queensboro Plaza (7, N, W) and Queens Plaza (E, R, and the F on weekdays) on either side. The 14-story Long Island City Clock Tower, finished in 1927, became a city landmark in 2015. The 2001 rezoning created a Queens Plaza subdistrict for dense mixed use, and it has filled in with high-rise apartment buildings.
Most of the work here is new-apartment work: assembly on move-in day, TVs and shelves on drywall, curtain rods and blinds on tall windows, patching when the lease ends. Weekday traffic around the bridge approach is heavy, so we agree an arrival window with you instead of promising a minute.

Can you hang curtains over floor-to-ceiling windows?
Usually, yes. What matters is what's above the window. A concrete ceiling or header needs masonry anchors; a drywall soffit needs anchors sized for the load, or a screw into the framing. Send a photo of the top of the window and the rod or track you bought.
