The Grand was adjacent to the first/last stop for an elevated subway line that still runs from Astoria and Long Island City into Manhattan.

31st Street was known as Grand Avenue when the theatre opened, hence the name.

Per Scott Genghis Wong. ‎The photo is from 1924 2nd Avenue and Ditmars Avenue in Astoria. After the new street grids were completed (by 1928), 2nd Avenue was renamed 31st Street, and Ditmars Avenue was renamed Ditmars Boulevard.
