Flight
NYC has lots of airports, but we usually fly into JFK since public transportation is best and easiest. LGA (Laguardia) and EWR (Newark) are also a good options.
House Or Rental
Airbnb is a great option for those who do not wish to stay in a hotel. We live in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, but neighborhoods in Brooklyn like Brooklyn Heights, Prospect Heights, Park Slope, Cobble Hill, or South Slope are all very good options.
Hotel
If you choose to stay in a hotel, we suggest looking at hotels in Downtown Brooklyn. There are several options and are close enough to the venue to take a car there.
