Travel and Accommodations
Best way to get around Brooklyn is by train or Uber. If you are driving, and have to park on the street, pay attention to the alternate side parking rules.
We suggest booking a hotel. While AirBnB can be a convenient choice, it displaces Brooklyn residents, and often ends up being so much more annoying to deal with than a hotel. And often more expensive!
Below is a cursory overview of some fun and affordable hotels in Brooklyn. You can likely find something even cheaper! We suggest booking a boutique hotel in Williamsburgh or Park Slope areas, but if you are in Manhattan, you can stay at a chain! Just be sure to read the reviews carefully- NYC is full of surprises sometimes.
And for our BK friends, if you have a spare couch, let us know!
