Hotel
We recommend this hotel because Downtown Brooklyn is fun and easily accessible to 4,5,2,3,F,A,C,R subway lines for you to enjoy New York! You will be in the heart of everything Brooklyn and steps away from our Welcome Drinks. You will need to take an Uber after the Reception to this hotel as it is not walking distance. Discounted rate is included in hotel website link. Parking is available for purchase in hotel garage.
Flight
JFK is the premier international airport and is a 50 minute taxi ride to Brooklyn for ~$60. There is a subway available. If you choose to ride the subway - take the AirTrain to Howard Beach. There you will hop on the Manhattan-bound A train to the Jay St Metrotech subway station. The subway ride is about 40 minutes for $2.75. You will need to purchase a metro card in the Howard Beach station. Jay St Metrotech is right next to the Downtown Brooklyn Marriott hotel we recommend for your stay.
Flight
You can choose your preferred NYC airport, but Laguardia is the most conveniently located. Just a short 25 minute taxi ride for $45 will get you to Downtown Brooklyn. This airport is most popular for domestic flights. There is no subway directly to Laguardia.
Shuttle
July 31, 2022 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
A shuttle will be picking up guests staying at The Marriott to bring you to Prospect Park. The bus will be leaving at 2:15PM from the Marriott. There will be a short walk required from the shuttle drop off area to the Picnic House, a map will be provided. We will all then be picked up after the Cocktail Hour and shuttled to the reception at 5PM.
Rental Car
We suggest using the Uber or Lyft app for ease of getting around New York! Taxi cabs are few and far between outside of Manhattan. We want everyone to feel free to leave the reception at their leisure and are recommending taking an Uber or Lyft home to your hotel after the reception if you are staying at the Brooklyn Marriott or in your own accommodations.
