Hotel
We reserved a block of rooms at a discounted and reasonable price for Saturday and Sunday (so be sure to book for Friday as well if you're coming in earlier). The discounted price is $185 per night for either a room with one queen bed (accommodates 2 guests) or two queen beds (accommodates 4 guests). This hotel is for those of you that want to spend more time in Manhattan than Brooklyn. Located right next to Grand Central and close to Bryant Park, Times Square, and Fifth Avenue strutting. About a 20ish minute drive to Greenpoint Loft (depending on 59th St. Bridge traffic) or 30-40 min subway ride via the F to the G.

We have also reserved a block of rooms at the Westin New York Grand Central for Saturday and Sunday night. If you plan on arriving Friday, be sure to book for Friday as well. The discounted price is $209 plus tax for either a room with a king bed (accommodates 2) or two double beds (accommodates 4). This hotel is located just blocks from the Courtyard, and offers a more luxurious experience for a few more dollars a night.
House Or Rental
The neighborhoods of Williamsburg and Greenpoint are full of great Airbnbs if you want to experience what it's really like to reside in a NYC apartment, or if you want to get a group together to share a space for the weekend. Highly recommend booking ASAP because the best ones fill up!
Train
Greenpoint is accessible by the G train (if you're going by subway). It is the Greenpoint Ave station. Fun fact: the G train is the only subway that doesn't go through Manhattan at all! Just Brooklyn - Queens. Point your browser toward the "View" link below to see Ben and Victoria's favorite song about the G Train!
Hotel
There are plenty of boutique hotels in Williamsburg (see: The Williamsburg Hotel, the Box House Hotel, The William Vale, The McCarren Hotel), however, Victoria loves this one best because it has a cool industrial-chic vibe going similar to the reception venue.
