A favorite of the Ritenour family when they come to visit Miles. Seriously, ask Miles' mom, she swears by this place. It's quaint and the staff is the nicest. It's not the fanciest hotel in the neighborhood, but it's affordable, clean and checks all the boxes in our opinion. We have a room block here for the entire weekend. It's a short Uber or taxi ride to the venue from here. To book call the hotel at 718-625-2100 with the group code WRWA21 Nightly rates: $260 weekday | $290 weekend Room types: 1 queen bed; 2 twin beds Book by September 5th to get this rate

Looking for a bit more than the quaint vibes of Le Jolie, but at an affordable price? Check out the McCarren. This hotel overlooks McCarren Park, has a pretty cool pool and is a short walk to the party venue through the park and main streets in the Greenpoint neighborhood in Brooklyn. Stop for some great Polish food, or better yet a Pastrami sandwich from Frankel's Delicatessen on your way over.

Okay, so the wedding is in Brooklyn, but just across the Pulaski Bridge is Queens. The Ravel is pretty new and has awesome views of downtown NYC, a cool rooftop bar, nice rooms and a view of the iconic Pepsi Cola sign on the Long Island City waterfront. You can take a quick Uber across the Pulaski and be at the venue within 15 minutes. Plus you'll be close to all the awesome bars and restaurants in Long Island City and a short subway ride into Manhattan.

Looking for a trusted hotel partner? Check out the Aloft (owned by Hilton) in Long Island City. Just like the Ravel, it has great views of the Manhattan skyline, is a short ride to the city and our anniversary party venue.
Hotel
This is one of the more premium hotels in the neighborhood. They have a great bar space that we hang out at often. It's a welcome addition to the neighborhood and the entire vibe is nice. Similar to the other spots on the list, this one is a short walk or Uber to the venue.

Are you looking to be bougie for the weekend and treat yourself to the true NYC experience? This is the spot for you. While we consider the hotel an eyesore on the neighborhood, you can't deny that it's pretty cool. Fun fact, they've shot episodes of The Bachelor here when they go on fancy dates. It's pricey, but you get a premium hotel that's a short walk or Uber to the venue.
Flight
If you're planning to fly from anywhere from the midwest or east coast, LGA is your best bet. It's no more than a 15-20 minute taxi ride to any of the hotels listed above. Tack on an extra 10-15 minutes and you'll be in Manhattan in no time (as long as there isn't bridge or tunnel traffic).
Flight
If you're on the west coast, you're likely going to end up here, but there are some midwest and east coast flights into JFK. It's a longer drive to the city and the hotels once you land, but you'll be at your final destination within an hour.
Train
Amtrak is a great option for guest traveling from DC, Boston or nearby towns in NJ. It even works for anyone traveling from the Pittsburgh-area. You can grab a train in Latrobe or Pittsburgh and end up at Penn Station in NYC 10 hours later. It's a long ride, but train travel can be fun!
Rental Car
Amy and Miles drive everywhere. Don't let NYC scare you, it's actually a really fun place to drive. All the hotels we've listed should have parking options and the party venue should have some on-street parking nearby should you decide to drive, it just might take you a few trips around the block to find a spot.
