Travel Note

Where to stay

You might consider looking in Gowanus in order to stay nearby the wedding venue. There's lots to do in the surrounding area. You also might look at Dumbo—it's located right on the water across from Manhattan, and has some cute shops, cafes, and cobblestone streets. There's also Downtown Brooklyn, which is very centrally located. Both have lots of hotel options, though Downtown Brooklyn will likely have more affordable choices. Williamsburg also has lots of beautiful hotels, but note they are pricey, and Williamsburg is a bit far from our wedding venue. Regardless of where you choose to stay, we'd recommend you check which subway lines are nearby to ensure that you'll have an easy enough time getting around the city during your visit. For reference, our wedding venue is nearest to the 2, 3, 4, 5, B, D, N, R, Q, and W trains.

Flight

NYC Airports

We prefer to fly in and out of JFK or LaGuardia, but sometimes Newark (located nearby in New Jersey) has cheaper flights. All three options are accessible via public transit (some more easily than others), though a cab (which you can request via the Curb app), Lyft, or Uber is easiest in our opinion.

Travel Note

A note on getting around the city

Take advantage of the best public transit in North America! Enjoy the bus, the subway, the ferry. Hell, take the Roosevelt Island Tram. If a car is a necessity for you, we wish you well in your parking endeavors. Picking up a rental car at the airport is definitely your best bet, as renting cars within the city proper is extra pricey.
